THE NORMAL PROCEDURE FOR OPERATING AT THIS AIRSTRIP WAS TO ALWAYS TAKE OFF TO THE EAST AND LAND TO THE WEST WHEN WINDS WERE NOT EXCESSIVE. WINDS ELSEWHERE IN AREA WERE FROM SOUTHEAST AT 13 KNOTS WHILE AT THIS STRIP, THEY WERE FROM THE EAST AT 30 KNOTS. AFTER APPROACH FROM THE EAST, PILOT MADE A GO-AROUND AND STARTED A LEFT TURN AND HIT THE TOP OF A TREE AND THEN THE TERRAIN. THE LINE OF TREES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY STOPPED AFTER THE ONE THAT THE AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH.
