What happened
The incident occurred while the aircraft was on final approach to the runway. During this phase of flight, environmental conditions caused the aircraft to be blown to the right side of the intended flight path. As a result of this deviation, the left wing struck a dirt mound located near the runway environment.
Following the initial impact with the terrain feature, the aircraft spun to the left. The spinning motion continued until the aircraft came to a rest approximately 75 feet from the edge of the runway.
Regarding the decision-making process leading up to the accident, the pilot stated that he had decided to attempt to salvage the landing during the approach rather than executing a go-around maneuver. This decision was influenced by the fact that approximately two-thirds of the runway length remained available for landing at that time.
