| Investigating agency: | NTSB |
| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
A witness reported observing the airplane start to wobble while approaching the airport to land. She stated that it was a windy day and that a sudden wind gust caused the airplane to tip on its side while in the air; thunderstorms with microbursts were reported in the area at the time of the accident. She added that it appeared that the pilot attempted to level off the airplane but was unsuccessful. The airplane subsequently impacted open terrain near the runway and rolled several times before coming to rest inverted. A postaccident examination of the airplane confirmed primary flight control continuity.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain airplane control while on approach for landing in gusting wind conditions.
