- Loss of control - on ground/water, landing - roll

## Analysis

THE PILOT MADE HIS APPROACH TO RUNWAY 27 AFTER NOTICING THAT THE WINDS WERE FROM THE NORTH NORTHWEST. HE SAID THE MADE HIS APPROACH AT 80 KTS BECAUSE OF THE CROSSWIND. AFTER TOUCHING DOWN BEYOND HIS INTENDED TOUCHDOWN AREA HE FELT HE WOULD NOT CLEAR THE TREES AT THE DEPARTURE END OF THE  RUNWAY IF HE ATTEMPTED A GO-AROUND. A PARKED SEMITRACTOR ON THE END RIGHT SIDE OF RUNWAY 27 WAS STRUCK BY THE RIGHT WING OF THE AIRCRAFT.
