That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N3812F's record changes.
The private pilot was on the third leg of a cross-country flight when he lost his ground reference and became lost. He saw an airfield and decided to land and determine where he was. While on short final approach, the airplane was allowed to descend below a normal glideslope and the airplane's left main landing gear contacted a tree. The airplane's airspeed rapidly decayed and the airplane entered a stall, impacted terrain, and cartwheeled.
