Read the full NTSB narrative

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.
