Accident Details
The pilot reported that while on approach to runway 30, the airplane encountered a loss of lift attributed to wind shear at an altitude of approximately 75 feet above ground. The pilot added engine power in an attempt to execute a go-around, but the aircraft touched down on the runway and bounced. A gust of wind then pushed the airplane to the left of the runway centerline.
Pilot Actions
In response to the gust, the pilot reduced engine power and attempted to turn the airplane back toward the runway. However, the maneuver was unsuccessful, and the aircraft impacted trees located off the side of the runway.
Postaccident Examination
A postaccident examination of the wreckage revealed substantial damage to both the right and left wings. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
Weather Information
Winds reported at an airport located about 10 miles east of the accident site were from 280 degrees at 12 knots, gusting to 15 knots.
