## Narrative

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

THE PILOT WAS LANDING AT BIG CREEK AIRSTRIP (U60) FOR A FLY IN BREAKFAST. HE WAS THE LAST AIRCRAFT IN A PARTY OF SIX. THE DOWNWIND LEG OF THE LANDING APPROACH IS FLOWN BEHIND A RIDGE AND THE AIRSTRIP CANNOT BE SEEN WHEN ON DOWNWIND. THE PILOT TURNED AN ABBREVIATED DOWNWIND TO BASE TO FINAL. HE THEN COULD SEE THE AIRSTRIP AND REALIZED HE WAS TOO HIGH AND CLOSE TO THE THRESHOLD. AS HE WAS TURNING BASE TO FINAL HE STARTED TO SLIP THE AIRCRAFT TO LOSE ALTITUDE. THE AIRCRAFT STALLED, THE PILOT ADDED FULL POWER AND ATTEMPTED TO RECOVER FROM THE STALL. THE AIRCRAFT IMPACTED THE TREES AND CAME TO REST UPSIDEDOWN APPROXIMATELY 180 DEGREES FROM THE COURSE BEFORE THE STALL.
