## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of control - in flight, landing
  - go-around - initiated, pilot in command
  - airspeed - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
  - stall - inadvertent, pilot in command (cause)
- In flight collision with terrain/water, descent - uncontrolled

## Analysis

THE PILOT REPORTED THAT ON HIS FIRST APPROACH TO LAND, THE RUNWAY APPEARED TO BE SHORT, SO HE MADE A GO-AROUND. HE REPORTED THAT HE THEN USED A SHORT FIELD TECHNIQUE. HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT LIKE THE LOOKS OF THE RUNWAY, SO HE ATTEMPTED ANOTHER GO-AROUND. REPORTEDLY, HE INITIATED THE GO-AROUND WITH FULL FLAPS AND STARTED A LEFT TURN AFTER LIFT-OFF. AT ABOUT THAT TIME, THE AIRCRAFT STALLED AND CRASHED.
