the failure of the pilot to retract the flaps and attain a sufficient airspeed during the attempted go-around, which resulted in a stall. The full nose-up trim was a contributing factor.

Read the full NTSB narrative

The airplane stalled and then collided with the ground during an attempted go-around from runway 21. On final approach, the pilot configured the airplane with full flaps and full nose-up trim. During the intial touchdown, the airplane bounced. The pilot elected to go-around and added full power without retracting the flaps or changing the trim setting. About 10 feet agl, the left wing stalled. The airplane came to rest inverted on a 030-degree heading. The POH for the airplane states that during a go-around, the pilot should add full power, retract the flaps to 20 degrees, and obtain 55 knots.
