What happened
The pilot provided a written account of the incident, detailing the conditions encountered during the final approach phase. The aircraft was attempting to land on Runway 04 when it encountered variable wind conditions. Specifically, the winds were reported to be between 280 and 040 degrees, with speeds gusting up to seventeen knots.
According to the pilot's statement, maintaining the correct airspeed on final approach proved difficult due to these wind conditions. The aircraft continued its descent but remained airborne longer than expected, effectively floating above the runway surface. Upon initial contact with the pavement, the airplane became airborne again rather than settling firmly onto the ground.
The pilot noted that he anticipated the aircraft would settle back down after this second bounce. However, the plane continued to float and drifted toward the right side of the runway environment. This drift ultimately resulted in the aircraft leaving the paved surface and impacting a line of trees adjacent to the runway.
