Read the full NTSB narrative
CONTROL OF THE ACFT WAS LOST DUE TO A STRONG WIND GUST CREATED BY THE TREE LINE NEXT TO THE RWY & THE ACFT CRASHED NEXT TO THE RWY. A PLT WHO HAD LANDED JUST PRIOR TO THAT TIME STATED THAT HE HAD SUSTAINED A MOMENTARY LOST OF ACFT CONTROL DURING THE FLARE DUE TO THE SEVERE TURBULENCE CREATED BY THE TREE LINE. SURFACE WIND GUSTS WERE ESTIMATED AS A X-WIND COMPONENT FROM THE RIGHT OF 40 DEGS AT 40 KNTS.
