What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Upon entering VMC conditions while conducting a night GPS runway 1 approach, at Penn Yan Airport, the crew did not monitor the rate of descent to the minimum descent altitude (mda). The aircraft continued below the mda prior to reaching a point in space where a safe touchdown could be completed using normal maneuvering. The aircraft struck trees, which caused the PIC to initially increase altitude and then, upon visually acquiring the landing runway, completing an uneventful approach to touchdown. Postflight investigation revealed damage to the left wing leading edge and left landing gear. A small piece of wood approximately 4 inches long by 1/2 inch diameter, was recovered from the engine.
As the FAA filed it
(-23) UPON ENTERING VMC CONDITIONS WHILE CONDUCTING A NIGHT GPS RUNWAY 1 APPROACH, AT PENN YAN AIRPORT, THE CREW DID NOT MONITOR THE RATE OF DESCENT TO THE MINIMUM DESCENT ALTITUDE (MDA). THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED BELOW THE MDA PRIOR TO REACHING A POINT IN SPACE WHERE A SAFE TOUCHDOWN COULD BE COMPLETED USING NORMAL MANEUVERING. THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK TREES, WHICH CAUSED THE PIC TO INITIALLY INCREASE ALTITUDE AND THEN, UPON VISUALLY ACQUIRING THE LANDING RUNWAY, COMPLETING AN UNEVENTFUL APPROACH TO TOUCHDOWN. POSTFLIGHT INVESTIGATION REVEALED DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING LEADING EDGE AND LEFT LANDING GEAR. A SMALL PIECE OF WOOD APPROXIMATELY 4 INCHES LONG BY 1/2 INCH DIAMETER, WAS RECOVERED FROM THE ENGINE.
