Accident Narrative
The pilot reported that during final approach at approximately 5 feet above the ground, the aircraft encountered a gust of wind. The gust lifted the aircraft about 20 to 30 feet and moved it to the left of the runway. Subsequently, a downdraft occurred, placing the aircraft in a situation where maximum power or effort was required to climb over a hangar. The pilot noted that he was "boxed in by powerlines" and chose to fly under the lines in order to perform an emergency landing.
The aircraft then went through a fence and flipped over. No further details were provided regarding the aircraft type, registration, date, operator, location, occupants, or injuries.
