NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

Failure of the student pilot to maintain the correct airspeed for a go-around maneuver, which resulted in a stall/mush and collision with terrain.

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The wind was coming from the right side of the runway. The student pilot said he planned to make a crosswind landing, using the crab to slip method. He said that as the airplane approached the runway threshold, he applied left rudder and neglected to apply right aileron. The airplane drifted to the runway's left side. The pilot said he applied full power to go around. He said that after applying full power, he felt the airplane begin to sink. Shortly after pitching the airplane up, the airplane stalled. The main landing gear contacted the ground first, followed shortly by the nose gear. The pilot said the nose gear collapsed and the airplane continued its landing roll. The airplane nosed over a short time later. The pilot recalled having received training in go-arounds. He said he recalled doing 2 while receiving dual about 6 months before the accident. He said he had made two go-arounds during solo flight sessions, but could not recall when.
