Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PLT WAS RELYING ON HIS LORAN C FOR NAVIGATION WHEN HE DECIDED TO ALTER HIS DESTINATION TO DELAWARE MUNICIPAL ARPT DUE TO ADVERSE WINDS AND TURBULENCE. HE HAD BEEN CHECKING HIS CHARTS FOR OBSTRUCTIONS WHEN THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH TREES IN A WOODED AREA SHORT OF HIS DESTINATION. THE PLT HAD JUST DESCENDED TO 2200 FT MSL TO AVOID TURBULENCE . HE STATED HE MAY HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT HIS CHARTS FOR UP TO FORTY SECONDS BUT THAT WAS NOT CUSTOMARY FOR HIM BECAUSE HIS ACFT 'HAS A TENDENCY TO ENTER A LEFT TURN EASY, HANDS OFF.'
