| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that while on final approach in dark night conditions, he noted that three of the four precision approach path indicator (PAPI) light units were red with the fourth pink, fading to white, when the aircraft suddenly collided with trees about 1/2 mile from the end of the runway. The aircraft subsequently collided with the ground and came to rest inverted. The Airport/Facility Directory for the airport indicate trees as obstructions and identifies a threshold cross height requirement to clear the obstructions.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from objects while on final approach. Dark night conditions, trees and a low glidepath were factors.
