| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot stated that he was practicing touch-and-go landings, and, as the airplane turned onto final approach, the wind caused the wings to rock. The airplane became too low on the approach, and the pilot added full power; however, the airplane impacted trees just prior to the runway, which resulted in substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain the proper approach path, which resulted in a runway undershoot and collision with terrain prior to the runway.
