Narrative:
Strong, gusting crosswinds during a runway 06R landing caused the aircraft to roll abruptly and unexpectedly. The ensuing loss of control resulted from inappropriate pilot techniques during the attempt to regain control of the aircraft. Struck the ground.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "An encounter with strong, gusting crosswinds during the landing attempt, which caused the aircraft to roll abruptly and unexpectedly. The ensuing loss of control resulted from inappropriate pilot techniques during the attempt to regain control of the aircraft. Suspected light ice accumulations on the
aerodynamic surfaces may have contributed to a stall and loss of control."
