Incident Overview
A pilot described an incident that occurred while attempting to land on a 1000-foot long by 40-foot wide airstrip. According to the pilot, a long, flat final approach was established, but conditions included a strong crosswind from the right and a low sun that was glaring off the water.
Sequence of Events
Approximately 10 feet above the airstrip, the propeller contacted a single tall bush that the pilot reported not having seen. Following the contact, the airplane stopped flying and spun around before coming to rest on the airstrip.
Damage Assessment
The aircraft sustained substantial damage to the left wing and the empennage.
Pilot Account
The pilot stated that the bush was not visible prior to the impact, likely due to the glare and the low sun angle. No further details regarding the aircraft type, registration, or occupants were provided.
