Probable cause
The pilot in command's failure to maintain airspeed while performing a go around resulting in the aircraft stalling and descending uncontrolled to the ground.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
Pilot attempted go around after aircraft pulled right on landing due to a flat tire. Shortly after lifting off the aircraft stalled and rotated to the left. The aircraft struck the ground nose and left wing low and came to rest.
