Factual narrative
THE ACFT VEERED OFF THE RWY DURING LANDING. THE LANDING WAS ON RWY 07. THE WIND WAS FROM 360 DEGREES AT 15 KTS. A THUNDERSTORM WAS IN THE AREA AND SOME TURBULENCE REMAINED. THE PILOT STATED HE FELT ONE GOOD BUMP AT 50 AGL AND FROM THAT POINT TO TOUCHDOWN VERY LITTLE WIND OR TURBULENCE. HE HEARD STALL WARNING AS MAIN GEAR TOUCHED DOWN. THE NOSEWHEEL WAS LOWERED TO SURFACE. THE ACFT BEGAN TO DRIFT RIGHT. THE PILOT SAID HE RESPONDED WITH FULL AILERON AND RUDDER BUT IT WAS NOT ENOUGH. THE ACFT LEFT THE RWY TO THE LEFT.
