Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PRIVATE PILOT WAS A FOREIGN NATIONAL THAT WAS DISPATCHED ON A SOLO CROSS-COUNTRY TRAINING FLIGHT. HOWEVER, HE DEPARTED ON A DIFFERENT ROUTE WITH A PASSENGER. DURING THE RETURN FLIGHT, HE ENCOUNTERED DETERIORATING WEATHER AND DECIDED TO LAND AT THE CRYSTAL RIVER AIRPORT. A WITNESS OBSERVED THE PILOT LAND WITH A TAILWIND, THEN INITIATED A GO-AROUND ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY DOWN THE RUNWAY. WHILE CLIMBING OVER TREES, THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED LEFT, THE NOSE DROPPED, AND THE PLANE CRASHED.
