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
The pilot had just completed his bfr. On a return flight to his original departure point, he entered the traffic pattern for a landing in calm wind conditions. He stated that when he was about 25 ft above the runway on final approach, he entered an area of dead air. He reported that he tried to "power out", but the aircraft touched down hard. The right gear collapsed and the pilot lost control of the aircraft. The pilot reported that the plane slid off the left side of the runway and broadsided a large pine tree.
