Probable cause
An inadequate recovery from a bounced landing and inadequate clearance to avoid colliding with trees.
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
During a cross country flight, the pilot attempted a landing at an uncontrolled airstrip. Several indentations on the ground indicate that the airplane touched down and bounced. The airplane became airborne and collided with trees at the end of the runway. There were no reported mechanical failures or malfunctions.
