The pilot received a request at 5am from a neighbouring property to fly a seriously ill person to a hospital some 150 kilometres away. During the approach to the property strip the pilot realised that the aircraft was too high and too fast so he attempted a sideslip to lose altitude. The aircraft floated the full length of the strip before the pilot decided to go around. During the go-around the aircraft stalled at about 50 feet above the ground after the pilot had commenced a steeply banked climbing turn to avoid trees.
