Read the full NTSB narrative

THE LANDING GSAR COLLAPSED AS A RESULT OF A HARD LANDING IN GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. ALTHOUGH THE AIRPORT WIND SOCK WAS TATTERED, SUFFICIENT WIND INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE FROM FSS AND UNICOM TO ALERT THE PILOT TO THE NEED FOR COMPENSATION ON APPROACH. THE NEAREST WX REPORTING STATION, 18 NM SW, REPORTED WINDS FROM 230 DEG AT 15 KTS GUSTING TO 26 KTS. THE FBO OPERATOR AT THE AIRPORT STATED WINDS WERE FROM 200 DEG WITH GUSTS TO 30 KTS.
