Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PILOT CAME IN ON APPROACH AND WAS BLOWN TO ONE SIDE BY THE WIND. HE ATTEMPTED A GO AROUND AND THE ENGINE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE AIRPLANE STALLED AND STRUCK THE RUNWAY IN A NOSE LOW ATTITUDE. A POST ACCIDENT INTERVIEW BY THE FAA REVEALED THAT THE PILOT DID NOT USE CARBURETOR HEAT ON APPROACH, THE MIXTURE WAS STILL LEANER, AND THE DECISION TO GO AROUND WAS DELAYED.
