Analysis
The plt said that during an attempted landing the acft floated during the flare. After using about half the rwy he decided to go-around. The temp was 90 deg f resulting in a density alt of 3200 ft. the plt said he applied full pwr but the acft did not climb rapidly enough to clear the trees at the end of the rwy. The acft collided with the trees and crashed about 1/2 mi beyond the rwy.
