| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The airplane was substantially damaged during landing. The pilot reported that a wind gust hit the airplane, and the airplane departed off the right side of the runway. The pilot reported that he did not try to "force" the airplane back to the runway because he did not want to impact any runway lights. The airplane continued into a drainage swale. There were no injuries reported.
Probable Cause: The inadequate compensation for wind conditions and the directional control not obtained/maintained by the pilot during landing. Contributing factors were the crosswind, gusts, and ditch.
