| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that he made three radio calls stating his intentions to land. When the airplane was about 25 to 50 ft above the runway, the pilot saw an agricultural airplane making a nonstandard, low circling approach to land on the opposing runway. The pilot added full power and initiated a shallow, right climbing turn to go around to avoid the other airplane. The pilot then banked the airplane left to avoid obstacles parked on the ramp and subsequently lost airplane control, and the airplane then impacted terrain. The agricultural pilot stated that he was not in the traffic pattern at the time of the accident.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain airplane control during a go-around to avoid another airplane that was making a nonstandard approach to the opposing runway. Contributing to the accident was the other pilot's use of a nonstandard approach while landing on the opposing runway.
