## 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

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

- Loss of control - in flight, go-around (vfr)
  - aircraft control - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
- In flight collision with object, go-around (vfr)
  - object - tree(s)

## 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.
