## Probable cause

AN INADEQUATE RECOVERY FROM A BOUNCED LANDING AND INADEQUATE CLEARANCE TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH TREES.

## Sequence of events

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

- Loss of control - on ground/water, landing
  - recovery from bounced landing - inadequate, pilot in command (cause)
- In flight collision with object, takeoff - initial climb
  - object - tree(s) (contributing factor)
  - clearance - inadequate, pilot in command (cause)

## 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.
