Read the full NTSB narrative

The 900-hour commercial pilot lost control of the airplane after performing an abrupt maneuver near the departure end of the runway during a go-around. A witness, driving on the road running perpendicular to the departure end of the runway, observed the airplane in a nose high attitude entering a hard left turn. He subsequently observed the airplane collide with the trees and terrain abeam the east side of the runway. No anomalies were found with the engine or airframe that would have prevented normal flight operations.
