HE REPORTED A LOSS OF AIRSPEED AND ALTITUDE WHEN THE AIRCRAFT WAS ABOUT 1000 FT FROM THE CREST. AT ABOUT THAT TIME, THE GEAR EXTENDED AUTOMATICALLY. A TURN WAS MADE OVER A LESSER RISE AND THE LANDING GEAR EMERGENCY OVERRIDE WAS ACTUATED; HOWEVER, THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO LOSE AIRSPEED AND CRASHED INTO TREES IN A WOODED AREA. THE ELEVATION OF THE CRASH SITE WAS ABOUT 7000 FT. THE PILOT ESTIMATED THAT THE TEMPERATURE WAS 60 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.
