| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that he was 'low and slow' on approach to the divert airport's runway 35. An FAA inspector observed wheel touchdown marks 90 feet short of the threshold. A witness reported that the aircraft was 'landing with full flaps, low energy nose high attitude' and that he 'heard the engine speed increase and a pop of the engine and the engine remained at full throttle for approx(imately) eight seconds.' The witness also reported the winds as calm at the time. The pilot reported that he 'gave the aircraft more power and felt that there was not enough pressure and the nose pitched up and he lost view of the runway' and that he 'lost control on landing to [the] right side.' The aircraft then collided with a tree and a parked Beech Bonanza.
Probable Cause: The pilot-in-command's misjudgment of distance/altitude (undershoot) on final, and his failure to maintain directional control during the aborted landing.
