The pilot reported that when he was on short final approach to runway 01, he encountered windshear at about 100 ft AGL. A rapid sink rate was encountered and he was unable to fully recover. Subsequently the aircraft touched down hard in a level attitude. The gear was sheared and the fuselage was split by impact, rupturing the fuel tank. A fire ensued and the aircraft was destroyed. According to the pilot, wind shear was encountered near a cliff at the approach end of runway 01. He reported that the wind sock at the approach end of the RWY was limp. while the wind sock for RWY 19 indicated a wind from the north at 15 to 20 knots. Reportedly, there was a strong southerly wind at the water level about 1/4 mile from the airport. Both occupants escaped without injuries. At the time of accident aircraft TTSN was approximately 1300 hours. [NTSB # SEA83LA171]. |
