| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was practicing touch-and-go landings with a 90-degree right crosswind of 11 knots, gusting to 15 knots. During touchdown the right wing began to rise as the airplane drifted to the left. The pilot stated that he "overcorrected" for the left drift and the airplane skidded off the right side of the runway. The left wing was substantially damaged when it struck a runway light. According to the pilot, the accident could have been prevented if he had increased his landing speed, used less than full wing flaps, and had maintained directional control by keeping the upwind wing down longer during landing.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the crosswind landing. Contributing to the accident were the gusting crosswind and the runway light.
