| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The private pilot was landing his single-engine airplane in a crosswind when he encountered a wind gust of 15-20 knots during the landing flare. The airplane went off the left side of the runway and the left horizontal stabilizer struck a precision approach path indicator light, which resulted in substantial damage to the airplane. The pilot reported that he should have anticipated a higher crosswind component and possible gusts during the landing.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to compensate for gusting crosswinds resultuing in the loss of directional control while landing.
