## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) PILOT LOST CONTROL OF AIRCRAFT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LAND IN GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS ON RUNWAY 35 AT THE APEX AIRPORT. AWOS DATA FROM THE NEARBY BREMERTON NATIONAL AIRPORT (KPWT) RECEIVED BY THE PILOT IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT INDICATED THAT THE WINDS AT THAT FACILITY WERE FROM 360 DEGREES AT 8 KNOTS, GUSTING TO 15 KNOTS. PILOT STATEMENT INDICATES THAT THE WINDS AT THE APEX AIRPORT WERE OBSERVED TO BE "SHIFTING FROM EAST TO WEST THROUGH NORTH".

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