During landing, the aircraft bounced. When the aircraft touched down again, the pilot noticed it had turned to the left of runway heading about 30 degrees and was drifting toward the left side of the runway. He initiated a go-around. As the aircraft lifted off, the pilot lost sight of the runway lights. He then noticed the aircraft had drifted to the right and was approaching trees. He turned back to the left, the left wing dropped, and the aircraft descended and crashed to the ground. Postcrash examination of the aircraft revealed no evidence of precrash failure or malfunction of the aircraft structure, flight controls, engine, or propeller. The runway lights were found to operate normally after the accident. The pilot did not have a current FAA medical certificate for it had been denied. The pilot did not meet FAA night recency of experience requirements.
Probable Cause: failure of the pilot to maintain directional control of the aircraft during a go-around, followed by his failure to maintain airspeed while maneuvering to avoid trees, which resulted in a stall and collision with the terrain. The pilot's lack of recent night experience was a related factor.
