Incident Overview
A witness reported observing an aircraft descending over an open farm field. The aircraft leveled off at an altitude of approximately 25 feet above ground level. The field was bordered by a stand of pine trees estimated to be between 70 and 80 feet tall. According to the witness, the aircraft pulled up as it reached the end of the field, subsequently colliding with the tops of the pine trees. Following the collision, the right wing dipped, and the aircraft continued in a right, descending turn until it crashed into a shallow pond.
Wreckage Examination
An inspection of the wreckage revealed damage consistent with a steep, nose-low impact with the water. During the examination, no evidence of mechanical failure or malfunction was found.
