Probable cause
The pilot's failure to retract the flaps during go-around.
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
The pilot overshot the proper touchdown point on the third VFR apch for ldg on a 2130 ft long airstrip and initiated a go-around with the flaps extended. When the acft failed to climb, the pilot attempted to land on the remaining runway. The acft overran the runway and impacted trees. Four adults were aboard the acft and a tailwind existed during the apch.
