Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
On final approach the aircraft settled and collided with trees that were located approximately 75 ft from the approach end of the runway. The pilot stated that he allowed his airspeed to become too slow and that he applied power but the right wing caught a tree top.
