Read the full NTSB narrative
THE PILOT STATED THAT WHEN THE AIRPLANE DESCENDED BELOW THE TREE LINE ON FINAL APPROACH, THERE WAS A DECREASE IN WIND. HE APPLIED POWER TO COMPENSATE FOR THE CHANGE IN THE WIND, AND THE AIRPLANE PITCHED UP AND STALLED. THE AIRPLANE THEN LANDED HARD ON THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR, AND THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED.
