Factual narrative

HE REPORTED THAT ON FINAL APPROACH, HE GOT TOO LOW; THEN ABOUT 200 FT SHORT OF THE RUNWAY, HIS HEAD WIND WAS BLOCKED BY TREES THAT WERE ADJACENT TO THE RUNWAY. HE STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT STALLED AT ABOUT 8 FT AGL AND TOUCHED DOWN ABOUT 150 FT SHORT OF THE RUNWAY, DAMAGING THE AIRCRAFT. SEVEN MILES NORTH AT THE NEAREST WEATHER STATION, THE WINDS WERE REPORTED FROM 190 DEGREES AT 15, GUSTING TO 20 KNOTS.
