Burnsville, NC, USA
N46CE
BEECH B200
The pilot stated that, during approach to the 50-ft-wide runway in his airplane, which had a 54.5-ft wingspan, he maintained a left-wing-low attitude to account for a left crosswind and touched down 1 to 2 ft right of the runway centerline. While correcting toward the runway centerline, the right wing collided with a bush located off the right side of the runway, which resulted in substantial damage to the right aileron. The pilot indicated there was nothing mechanically wrong with the airplane that caused the collision and that he had flown into the same airstrip between 30 and 50 times. Following the accident, the bush was removed.
