Incident Overview
A pilot reported an accident while landing at a remote dirt airstrip. According to the pilot, after turning to final approach, the runway was obscured by the glare of the morning sun. As the approach continued, approximately 30 feet above the ground, the right wing of the aircraft struck trees located adjacent to the runway.
Damage Assessment
The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and the landing gear boxes. The pilot did not report any preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation of the aircraft.
Pilot Statement
The pilot stated that if he had flown a longer final approach, he would have been better able to assess the situation and avoid the trees. No other details were provided regarding the flight or the conditions.
