Probable cause
The pilot's failure to reposition the flaps to the 20 degree position during a go-around, as called for in the Pilot's Operating Handbook. Factors include the pilot's decision to land long behind a departing aircraft, an encounter with wake turbulence during the landing sequence, and electric transmission lines in the vicinity of the airport.
