ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN DURING LANDING, ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN THE RUNWAY, THEN BOUNCED SEVERAL TIMES. HE ELECTED TO GO AROUND, APPLIED FULL POWER, AND MOVED THE FLAP HANDLE TO THE UP POSITION. THE FLAPS WERE FULLY EXTENDED AND DID NOT RETRACT; SUBSEQUENTLY, THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK TREES ABOUT 20 YARDS BEYOND THE END OF THE RUNWAY. AN INSPECTION OF THE FLAP SYSTEM REVEALED THAT THE FLAP ACTUATOR FUSE HAD BLOWN.
