Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PLT WAS APPROACHING A STRANGE ARPT WITH A RWY ELEVATION OF 140 FT AND SURROUNDING TERRAIN OF 1000 TO 3000 FT. THE PLT SAID AS HE APPROACHED THE THRESHOLD HE FELT THE ACFT WAS TOO HIGH SO HE EXECUTED A GO-AROUND. WITH THE FLAPS AT 20 DEGREES HE SAID HIS CLIMB RATE WAS ONLY 200 FPM. AFTER REACHING 1000 FT MSL HE DECIDED THAT THE ACFT WOULD NOT CLEAR THETREES SO 'HE SHUT THE ACFT DOWN' AND CRASH LANDED IN SOME SMALL TREES. THE DENSITY ATL WAS COMPUTED AS BEING 2000 FT. HE RECOMMENDED A LONGER LOWER APCH TO THE ARPT OR AN ACFT CAPABLE OF A GREATER RATE OF CLIMB. THE ACFT ENGINE WAS CHECKED AND FOUND TO BE WITHIN NORMAL OPERATING LIMITS.
