Narrative:
I was on a 3 degree stabilized approach to lakeville's airlake runway 29 when I encountered windshear. Full power was immediately applied but approximately 70' was still lost before the ensuing accelerated sink rate was reversed. At this lowest point, the airplane's right propeller knocked out one light bulb on the MALSR tower positioned second closest to the runway. This combination of timing and very rare WX was unfortunate, but if the MALSR light bar had been lower than 10' the above would have been a nonevent.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: PLT OF SMALL TWIN ENCOUNTERED WINDSHEAR ON SHORT FINAL LNDG AT UNCONTROLLED ARPT. RIGHT PROP HIT ONE LIGHT ON 10' HIGH STANDARD.
Narrative: I WAS ON A 3 DEG STABILIZED APCH TO LAKEVILLE'S AIRLAKE RWY 29 WHEN I ENCOUNTERED WINDSHEAR. FULL PWR WAS IMMEDIATELY APPLIED BUT APPROX 70' WAS STILL LOST BEFORE THE ENSUING ACCELERATED SINK RATE WAS REVERSED. AT THIS LOWEST POINT, THE AIRPLANE'S R PROP KNOCKED OUT ONE LIGHT BULB ON THE MALSR TWR POSITIONED SEC CLOSEST TO THE RWY. THIS COMBINATION OF TIMING AND VERY RARE WX WAS UNFORTUNATE, BUT IF THE MALSR LIGHT BAR HAD BEEN LOWER THAN 10' THE ABOVE WOULD HAVE BEEN A NONEVENT.
