## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT WAS CLEARED FOR CIRCLING APPROACH TO RWY 25 AT NEW HUDSON AIRPORT (Y47), MICHIGAN. ON FINAL APPROACH PILOT STATED THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO LEFT AND WHEN HE TRIED TO RECOVER WITH POWER AND RUDDER AIRCRAFT CRASHED INTO SEWER PIPES ON GROUND. PILOT THOUGHT HE MAY HAVE HIT ELECTRICAL WIRES WHEN HE TURNED FINAL, BUT THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. FIRE DEPARTMENT CHECKED AND EXPANDER DID NOT DEPLOY. MTX INSPECTOR CHECKED THE FOLLOWING MORNING (TEMPERATURE DID NOT GO OVER 25 DEGREES) AND THERE WERE NO WIRES HIT NOR WAS THERE ICE ON THE AIRCRAFT. MTX INSPECTOR ALSO CHECKED FOR ASSYMETRIC FLAPS, CONTINUITY OF FLIGHT CONTROLS AND/OR POSSIBLE NOSE STRUT COLLAPSE. NONE OF THE ABOVE FACTORS WERE PRESENT. ONE POSSIBLE EXPLANATION IS A GUST OF WIND WHEN AIRCRAFT WAS CLOSE TO GROUND WITH PILOT BEING UNABLE TO RECOVER.
