Probable cause
The pilot in command's failure to maintain airspeed (vso) during a go around, resulting in a loss of control (stall), and subsequent on ground collision with a parked airplane.
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
The airline transport pilot was on final approach for landing when he initiated a go around at about 5 feet above the runway. The nose of the airplane pitched up, the airplane stalled, and a recovery was accomplished to the grass. The airplane continued across the grass, crossed a drainage ditch, collapsed the landing gear, and collided with a parked airplane.
