## Narrative

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

(-23) THE AIRPLANE DEPARTED THE SIDE OF RUNWAY 29L DURING A CROSSWIND LANDING, AND THE NOSE GEAR STRUT FORK SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE. THE REPORTED WINDA FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE MISHAP WAS 210 DEGREES AT 10 KNOTS.  RUNWAY 04/22 WAS CLOSED AND UNAVAILABLE AT THE TIME, DUE TO ANOTHER AIRPLANE ON THAT RUNWAY WHICH HAD EXPERIENCED A NOSE GEAR COLLAPSE ABOUT 30 MINUTES EARLIER.  ACCORDING TO THE PIPER PA-28-161 POH/AFM, THE MAXIMUM DEMONSTRATED CROSSWIND VELOCITY FOR THE AIRPLANE IS 17 KNOTS.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
