| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The airplane collided with a telephone pole and terrain during an aborted landing from a (1,004' x 55') upsloping grass field. The pilot stated the airplane bounced on landing, and he and the passenger were hit in the head with a car fender brace that he had in the back of the airplane. The pilot stated he 'blacked out' temporarily and when he regained consciousness, he noticed his passenger slumped over. He stated he was afraid he was going to hit the silo at the end of the field so he applied full power and tried to gain airspeed. The airplane contacted trees off the end of the runway. The pilot stated the landing was being made with a 14 knot quartering tailwind. The pilot stated he always landed to the west (uphill) and took off to the east (downhill). A witness reported the airplane touched down long and bounced prior to him hearing an increase in engine power.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to obtain sufficient altitude during the aborted landing to clear obstacles at the end of the field. Factors associated with the accident were poor preflight planning/preparation, the tailwind, the telephone pole, and the trees.
