What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Non-certificated pilot was operating his home-built ultralight (light sport aircraft - trike) in the traffic pattern of Hobby Field (77S) when he appeared to have failed to correctly control the aircraft while in a turn on base leg to runway 34. Video of the flight shows that the pilot banked the aircraft to a 90 degree angle while in a left hand turn to a base leg. The aircraft, which was at a very low altitude - approximately 80 feet above ground level, descended and made initial impact into a 100 foot tall fir tree and then subsequently fell to the ground. The pilot was fatally injured as a result of this accident.
