Read the full NTSB narrative

DURING ARRIVAL, THE AIRCRAFT ENTERED DOWNWIND FOR A RIGHT TRAFFIC PATTERN TO RUNAY 24. AT THAT TIME, A WITNESS (A WELL QUALIFIED PILOT) NOTED THAT THE WIND WAS FROM THE NORTHEAST AT ABOUT 8 KTS. ANOTHER PILOT-WITNESS STATED THAT THE WIND WAS FROM THE NORTHEAST AT ABOUT 10 KTS OR MORE. ABOUT 7 MI SOUTHEAST AT AN OFFICIAL WEATHER OBSERVATION FACILITY, THE WIND WAS FROM 320 DEG AT 8 KTS. AS THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED ON DOWNWIND, IT REPORTEDLY ANGLEO TOWARD THE RUNWAY, WAS AT A LOWER-THAN-NORMAL ALTITUDE, AND THE AIRSPEED WAS SLOW. REPORTEDLY, THE AIRCRAFT WAS IN A DESCENDING TURN TOWARD THE RUNWAY, WHEN IT ENTERED A SPIN AND CRASHED. NO PREIMPACT ABNORMALITIES WERE FOUND DURING AN EXAMINATION AT THE CRASH SITE.
