“During the approach to land phase, the pilot reported the right wing hitting a tree during the initial touchdown,” states the TSB’s daily notification log. “The pilot added full power to do a go-around. However, the impact with the tree caused the aircraft to pivot 180 to the right and come to an abrupt stop. The passenger and pilot exited through the right door and reported no injuries.”
