What happened
The pilot contacted the field on the UNICOM frequency of 122.8 MHz and was informed that the active runway was 31. The wind was reported from 040 degrees at 13 knots. The final approach was made with crab and power, but just prior to touchdown, the right wing lifted and the aircraft veered left off runway 31, colliding with shrubs.
The investigation
No further details were provided regarding the mechanical condition of the aircraft or specific investigative findings beyond the factual narrative of the event.
Findings
The primary factor contributing to the incident was the loss of directional control during the landing phase. The aircraft departed the runway surface immediately before making contact with the ground, resulting in a collision with vegetation adjacent to the paved area.
