## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS ATTEMPTING A SOUTHERLY LANDING AT HIS PRIVATE AIRSTRIP NEAR GOODHUE, MN.  WEATHER AT STANTON, MN (APPROXIMATELY 20 STATUE MILES WNW OF ACCIDENT SITE) REPORTED WINDS 150 AT 11, GUSTING TO 15, VISIBILITIES OF 10SM AND CLEAR SKIES.

THE PRIVATE AIRSRTIP (TURF) IS LISTED ON THE MINNEAPOLIS TERMINAL AREA CHART AS '(PVT) SODBUSTER' WITH AN ELEVATION OF 1200FT MSL AND A RUNWAY LENGTH OF 1500FT.  FAA PERSONNEL MEASURED THE RUNWAY WIDTH TO BE APPROXIMATELY 30FT.

AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, APPROXIMATELY 7-8FT TALL CORN IMMEDIATELY BORDERED THE EASTERN RUNWAY EDGE.  THE WESTRN EDGE WAS BORDERED BY APPROXIMATELY 4FT OF TALL GRASS AND THEN A MATURE BEAN FIELD.

DURING LANDING, THE PILOT STATED THAT THERE WAS A CROSSWIND FROM THE LEFT.  AS HE ATTEMPTED TO FLARE AND DESCENDED BELOW THE CORN, THERE WAS A WIND SHIFT WHICH CAUSED HIM TO MOMENTARILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT DURING THE ROLLOUT PORTION.

THE LEFT WINGTIP MADE CONTACT WITH THE CORN AND CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO TURN FURTHER LEFT, RESULTING IN FURTHER IMPACT WITH THE CORN.  THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST NOSE DOWN AND RIGHT WING LOW.
