Factual narrative
A WITNESS OBSERVED THE AIRCRAFT TO PITCH AND ROLL WHILE ON FINAL APPROACH. AT ABOUT 30-40 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND THE NOSE PITCHED DOWNWARD AND THE AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH THE RUNWAY. MODERATE TURBULENCE AND GUSTY WINDS WERE REPORTED ON FINAL APPROACH. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
