THE AIRPLANE WAS DOWNWIND AND PARALLEL TO A LINE OF TREES AT TREE-TOP LEVEL WHILE IN A TURNAROUND MANEUVER. THE WIND, ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, WAS TURBULENT DOWNWIND OF THE TREES, AND MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO A LOSS OF LIFT WHILE THE AIRPLANE WAS IN THE TURN.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)
