| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that during the first approach to runway 31, he encountered a 'strong crosswind' from the right and decided to go around. During the second approach, he attempted to correct for the crosswind, and was 'surprised' by a gust of wind. He stated he delayed the decision to go-around, allowed the airplane to drift to the left, and allowed the airspeed to decrease below the stall speed. The airplane aerodynamically stalled and impacted trees.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and the inflight loss of control. A factor is the pilot's failure to do a go around.
