Factual narrative
THE PILOT REPORTED HE WAS PRACTICING TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS, AND THAT HE WAS 'DETERMINED TO HOLD THE APPROACH SPEED TO 80 AND RATE OF DESCENT TO 500 FEET PER MINUTE . . .' THE APPROACH WAS FLOWN AT DUSK AS LIGHT WAS BEGINNING TO FAIL. THE PILOT STATED, 'I SUDDENLY REALIZED I WAS LOW AND APPLIED POWER, BUT IT WAS . . . TOO LATE.' THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK TWO APPROACH LIGHT STRUCTURES & THE GROUND ABOUT 650 FT SHORT OF THE RUNWAY. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
