Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed structural damage to the right wing and firewall. Reported winds about 1/2 hour prior to the accident were from 220 degrees at 26 knots, with gusts to 31 knots. No preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures were found by the FAA inspector during his examination of the airplane. ## Factual narrative The pilot and passengers were interviewed by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector.
