Analysis
The commercial pilot said he applied full power to go-around after a bounced landing. Torque generated by the turbo-prop engine pulled the airplane to the right and the pilot stated he was unable to arrest the turn. The airplane collided with trees resulting in substantial damage to the right wing, fuselage, vertical stabilizer, both horizontal stabilizers and the rudder. The pilot reported there were no mechanical deficiencies with the airplane or engine.
