The airplane was on final approach to land on runway 18, a 2,230-foot-long, 55-foot-wide, lighted grass runway. The pilot stated he added full flaps when he thought he had the runway "made;" however, it became apparent that the airplane was "high and long." The pilot initiated a go-around, added power and raised the flaps to "two notches;" however, the airplane settled into the trees located at the end of the runway. The pilot further said that he was not certain how high the airplane was above the trees when he initiated the go-around because it was dark. The pilot reported 1,546 hours of total flight experience, which included 970 hours in make and model, and 11 hours in "night" conditions.
Probable Cause: The pilot's delayed go-around decision. A factor in this accident was the night light condition.
