Incident Overview
Witnesses reported that an airplane was on final approach to Runway 3 with its landing gear and flaps extended. One witness observed that when the airplane was approximately 50 to 100 feet above the ground, the engine audibly increased to full power. The airplane then entered a steep climbing right turn. During the climb, the airplane appeared to be moving very slowly.
Sequence of Events
After the steep climb, the airplane's wings momentarily leveled, and then the aircraft banked sharply to the left and nosed down, descending into the ground. At the time, a gyrocopter that was not equipped with a radio had just taken off from Runway 3.
Investigation
The accident investigation is based solely on witness accounts. No further details about the aircraft type, registration, operator, occupants, injuries, or damage have been disclosed. The weather conditions and any potential involvement of air traffic control are not specified in the available reports.
