Analysis

THE PILOT'S LANDING APPROACH WAS LONG AND FAST. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN BUT THE PILOT DECIDED HE WOULD BE UNABLE TO STOP ON THE REMAINING RUNWAY AND INTIATED A GO-AROUND. HE THEN REALIZED HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CLEAR TREES BEYOND THE END OF THE RUNWAY. HE MADE A RIGHT TURN TO REMAIN OVER A CLEARED PASTURE. AT ABOUT 20 FEET ABOVE GOUND LEVEL THE RIGHT WING TIP CONTACTED A SMALL PECAN TREE AND THE AIRCRAFT DESCENDED, UNCONTROLLED, TO THE GROUND.
