## 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)
  - directional control - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
  - compensation for wind conditions - inadequate, pilot in command (cause)
  - proper alignment - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)

## Analysis

THE ACFT STRUCK THE TAIL OF AN ACFT AS IT WAS BEGINNING TO PROCEED IN A GO-AROUND. THE PLT SAID HE WAS UNAWARE OF THE COLLISION WITH THE PARKED ACFT UNTIL THE SUBSEQUENT LANDING. THE COLLISION WAS THE RESULT OF THE ACFT IN FLT DRIFTING DOWNWIND OFF THE RWY CENTERLINE TO A POINT WHERE THE COLLISION OF THE ACFT WING TIP WITH THE PARKED ACFT TAIL OCCURRED.
