| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that during the landing roll on a remote gravel airstrip, he was unable to maintain directional control, and decided to abort the landing. Shortly after applying full power and becoming airborne, he made a left turn to avoid a cabin, and the main landing gear encountered willows, pulling the airplane further to the left. The pilot said he elected to crash the airplane between two trees instead of attempting to turn away or climb over them. He subsequently reduced power and hit the trees. The airplane received substantial damage to the wings, fuselage and empennage. The pilot said there were no preimpact mechanical anomalies with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing roll, which precipitated an aborted landing, and subsequent collision with trees.
