Aircraft involved

Probable cause & findings

The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing rollout in crosswind conditions, which resulted in a runway excursion and impact with equipment.

Factual narrative

The pilot reported that, he was conducting touch-and-go landings in gusty crosswind conditions. After touchdown and during the landing rollout, the airplane encountered a strong wind gust and veered to the right. He attempted to correct for the veer to no avail. The airplane subsequently exited the runway and impacted weather reporting equipment located on the airport, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
