## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS PRACTICING LANDINGS ON RUNWAY 14 BUT WAS ON FINAL FOR RUNWAY 9. HE WAS QUESTIONED BY THE TOWER ABOUT HIS INTENTIONS AND THEN TURNED TO BASE LEG FOR RUNWAY 14 AT APPROXIMATELY 500 ABOVE THE GROUND. THE AIRCRAFT THEN LOST ALTITUDE AND IMPACTED A SMALL OPEN AREA NEAR A BALL FIELD.
