Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control during a go-around, which resulted in an in-flight collision with a tree.
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
As the pilot of the SR-22 was performing a flare for landing, the airplane's airspeed "became too slow," and the pilot applied full power and announced "go-around." The airplane veered left, and continued approximately 100 yards, before it struck a tree and came to rest upright. The pilot reported no mechanical anomalies with the airplane. Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed substantial damage to the left wing.
