| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot landed the airplane nose wheel first on runway 27. The airplane then started to porpoise, so he executed a go-around (balked landing). During the maneuver, the airplane drifted left and struck two small trees that were encroaching into the runway environment. The airplane came to rest upright in a corn field, 40 feet left of Runway 27.
Probable Cause: failure of the pilot to maintaining proper runway alignment during an aborted landing (go-around). Related factors were: the pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing, inadvertent porpoise, and the small trees encroaching into the runaway environment.
