Read the full NTSB narrative
THE PILOT WAS MAKING A 'FAST LOW APPROACH' TO A PRIVATE AIRSTRIP NEAR HIS HOME WHEN HE REALIZED HE WAS COMING TOO CLOSE TO A ROW OF TREES. THE PILOT STATED HE BECAME SO PREOCCUPIED WITH TRYING NOT TO HIT THE TREES THAT HE DID NOT NOTICE HOW CLOSE THE AIRCRAFT WAS GETTING TO THE GROUND. AS A RESULT, THE AIRCRAFT IMPACTED THE RISING TERRAIN APPROXIMATELY 600 FEET WEST OF THE AIRSTRIP.
