Landing Sequence
During an attempted landing on runway 11, which measures 2,600 feet in length and 50 feet in width, the airplane touched down before the beginning of the runway surface. The right main landing gear collapsed upon contact. Subsequently, the aircraft skidded off the right side of the runway onto the grass area, where it collided with a fence.
Pilot Report
According to the pilot, just prior to a normal touchdown, the airplane experienced a sudden descent attributed to either a downdraft or wind shear. The reported wind conditions at the time were from 120 degrees at 20 knots, gusting to 30 knots.
