Flight Details
A private pilot was conducting a cross-country flight with family members aboard. The pilot reported an approach to Runway 27, which measures 6,900 feet in length and 75 feet in width, with an asphalt surface. Winds were estimated from 315 degrees at 15 knots.
Approach and Incident
According to the pilot, during the approach the airplane encountered what the pilot described as a "gust from below." The pilot noted low-level turbulence and said he lost track of the airspeed. Subsequently, the pilot heard the stall horn and reported that the airplane fell about 10 feet to the ground.
Pilot Report
The pilot attributed the sequence of events to the gust and turbulence, stating that he lost awareness of the airspeed prior to the stall warning and the subsequent descent. No other factors were mentioned in the pilot's account.
