Read the full NTSB narrative
PRIOR TO DEPARTURE THE PILOT DETERMINED THAT HIS DESTINATION, A GRASS RUNWAY, WAS DRY. HIS FIRST APPROACH TO THIS FIELD RESULTED IN A GO-AROUND BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE LANDED LONG. THE SECOND APPROACH RESULTED IN A LANDING, BUT BECAUSE HIS WHEELS BEGAN TO SLIDE ON THE GRASS WHICH NOW WAS WET, AN ABORTED LANDING WAS PERFORMED. HE CLIMBED TO ABOUT 20 FT AGL BEFORE REACHING A TREE LINE. A COLLISION WITH THE TREES OCCURRED AND THE ACFT STALLED AND SETTLED TO THE GROUND.
