Aircraft #1

N325OK

RONALD C. RENDER LONG EZ

Analysis

DURING ARRIVAL, THE ACFT WAS ALIGNED SLIGHTLY RIGHT OF THE RWY CENTERLINE WHILE LANDING WITH A LEFT X-WIND COMPONENT. THE PLT STATED THAT THE ACFT LANDED ON THE DIRT APRON, ROLLED TO THE RIGHT & HE COULD NOT LIFT THE DOWNWIND WING. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE RIGHT WING HIT THE GROUND, THE ACFT SPUN AROUND 180 DEG, THEN IT FLIPPED OVER. THE PLT BELIEVED WIND SHEAR WAS A PROBABLE FACTOR.
