## Narrative

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

(-23) APRIL O7, 2006, N4316T A PIPER PA-28-140, CRASHED JUST OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY AT GASTON'S RESORT AT LAKEVIEW, AR. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AND NO FLIGHT PLAN HAD BEEN FILED. PILOT WAS AIRLIFTED TO ST. JOHN'S HOSPITAL IN MISSOURI AND BOTH PASSENGERS WERE TRANSPORTED TO BAXTER COUNTY HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. WITNESSES STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT APPEARED TO HAVE DIFFICULTY LIFTING OFF AND THAT WHEN IT DID BECOME AIRBORNE THE WINGS WERE ROCKING HEAVILY. THE AIRCRAFT WAS UNABLE TO GAIN ALTITUDE AND CONTACTED A TREE SEVERAL HUNDRED YARDS PAST THE END OF THE RUNWAY. AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT THE RIGHT WING REMAINED IN THE TREE AND THE FUSELAGE AND LEFT WING UNATTACHED STRUCK THE GROUND, ALL THREE OCCUPANTS WERE ABLE TO EVACUATE THE AIRCRAFT.
