What happened
Upon arriving at the destination airport, the pilot performed a pattern to inspect the wind sock and assess runway conditions. The wind sock indicated near calm winds, suggesting a preference for runway 05. Due to the relatively short length of the runway, the pilot decided to execute an approach and landing technique designed to maximize the remaining runway distance.
During the final approach, the left main landing gear of the aircraft made contact with a tree. This impact caused the airplane to veer to the left of the runway and strike the ground. While the aircraft was sliding toward a stop, the left wing collided with a utility pole, which resulted in the wing being severed from the airframe.
