Read the full NTSB narrative
When the pilot was landing on runway 19, the airplane bounced twice on the runway. The pilot added full power in an attempt to go-around; however, the airplane drifted left and impacted trees off the left side of the runway, where it became entangled, and the empennage separated. The pilot stated that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. The recorded wind near the accident site, about the time of the accident, was from 280 degrees at 6 knots.
