THE PILOT STATED THAT THE WINDSOCK WAS INDICATING CALM WIND CONDITIONS WHEN HE MADE A LOW PASS DOWN THE RUNWAY AND HE SUBSEQUENTLY LANDED ON RUNWAY 34. AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRPLANE GROUND LOOPED TO THE LEFT AND VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY INTO A FENCE. THE PILOT FURTHER STATED THAT AFTER HE GOT OUT OF THE AIRPLANE, THE WINDSOCK WAS INDICATING A CROSS WIND OUT OF THE EAST AT ABOUT 12 KNOTS. TWO INDIVIDUALS AT THE AIRPORT TOLD HIM THAT THE WIND SHIFTED JUST PRIOR TO HIS TOUCHING DOWN.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO CORRECTLY COMPENSATE FOR WIND CONDITIONS. A FACTOR WAS THE UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER WITH THE CROSSWIND.
