That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N5947T's record changes.
The pilot was on a local flight when he spotted a remote airstrip and decided to land. He said that from the air, the landing area appeared longer and wider, but as he was nearing his touchdown, he realized that the landing area was smaller and rougher than expected. The airplane touched down, hit a bump, and bounced into brush on the right side of the landing strip, sustaining substantial damage to the right wing and fuselage.
The pilot stated that there were no preaccident mechanical anomalies with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
In the recommendation section of the NTSB Accident Reporting Form 6120.1, the pilot stated that he should have flown over the landing strip numerous times before attempting to land, and that he should have consulted with a local pilot about the landing conditions at the airstrip.
