Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Hubbart, Oregon 97032
Saturday, July 19, 2014 10:30 PDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot reported that the wind was gusting during the descent and approach to landing. He further stated that the gusting winds moved the airplane to the right resulting in the collision with trees with the right wing. The airplane subsequently collided with more trees and came to rest in a nose down position. During the accident sequence, both wings sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control and proper alignment during approach for landing in gusting wind conditions.
