Summary

On March 05, 2016, a Aeropro Cz A220 (N841S) was involved in an incident near Canton, TX. All 2 people aboard were uninjured. The aircraft sustained substantial damage.

The National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of this incident to be: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during an aborted landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and a collision with trees.

The pilot of a tailwheel equipped airplane reported that he encountered a gust of wind during the landing flare and bounced on the touchdown. During the landing roll, the airplane began moving to the left and the pilot applied power to go-around. Subsequently, the airplane continued to the left during the aborted landing, departed the runway, and impacted trees that were located about 115 feet to the left of the runway.

A postaccident examination revealed substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage.
