During an aborted landing attempt following a bounced landing, the airplane drifted off the right side of the runway and collided with trees. The airplane bounced after touchdown, and the pilot attempted to abort the landing; however, he left the flaps down, and maintained the airplane in a nose high attitude. The stall warning horn sounded, and the pilot pushed the yoke forward. The airplane continued drifting to the right of the runway until it impacted trees north of the runway. The pilot was unfamiliar with the airport, and he also had not considered the element of a high-density altitude condition. The balked landing procedures in the Pilot Operating Handbook for the airplane call for the flaps to be immediately retracted to 20 degrees. The density altitude was computed to be 8,098 feet,.
Probable Cause: the pilot's inadequate recovery from a bounced landing, failure to retract the flaps during an aborted landing attempt, failure to maintain an adequate airspeed, and failure to maintain directional control. A factor in the accident was the high density altitude.
