Probable cause
The pilot-in-command's failure to initiate a climb.
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 pilot-in-command (PIC) was conducting a full flap landing when the pilot-rated passenger informed the PIC that an airplane was observed on a simultaneous approach to an intersecting runway. The PIC initiated a go around by applying full power, making a left turn, and raising the flaps to 20 degrees, without establishing a climb. The left wing of the airplane collided with trees bordering the runway and crashed.
