## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-16) THIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF A FOREIGN REGULATED AIRPORT. PIC'S ATTEMPT TO LAND WAS WITHIN THE PERFORMANCE CRITERIA OF THE CESSNA CITATION. HOWEVER, THE LIP OF THE ASPHALT RUNWAY IS 5" TO 6" ABOVE THE GROUND/CORAL ROCK UNDERSURFACE OF THE ASPHALT. VEGETATION IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE RUNWAY CAUSES A BURBLE EFFECT JUST PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN IN A CROSSWIND CONDITION. A SUDDEN LOSS OF LIFT COUPLED WITH THE "CURB" CREATED BY THE ASPHALT AT THE RUNWAY'S BEGINNING EDGE CONTRIBUTED TO AN UNEXPECTED IMPACT WITH THE RUNWAY'S BEGINNING EDGE BY THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR.
