A TREE LINE THAT RUNS PARALLEL TO THE RUNWAY ON THE SOUTH WEST SIDE IS BELIEVED TO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO A SUDDEN TURBULENT GUST WHICH DROVE THE LEFT WING DOWN JUST PRIOR TO TOUCH DOWN.

THE PILOT ABORTED THE LANDING AND CONDUCTED A GO AROUND THEN LANDED WITH OUT FURTHER INCIDENT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
