Analysis
The acft stalled into trees during an attempted go-around after a simulated forced landing. This was a dual instructional flight. During the simulated landing maneuver the student located a grass strip and approached into the wind. At about 30-50 ft a go-around was initiated, flaps were reduced and full power used. The instructor took the controls and tried to clear the trees. The stall warning sounded and the left wing dropped as the acft stalled and collided with trees.
