Factual narrative

THE PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO LAND IN GUSTY, CROSSWIND CONDITIONS AND LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE. HE SAID THE ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BY CHOOSING A DIFFERENT AIRPORT WITH LESS CROSSWIND, OR BY INITIATING A GO-AROUND WHEN HE FIRST EXPERIENCED CONTROL DIFFICULTIES.
