## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS PRACTICING TOUCH & GO LANDINGS. DURING THE LAST LANDING PHASE, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LAND INTO A SLIGHT CROSSWIND FROM THE RIGHT, A "DUST DEVIL" SUDDENLY DEVELOPED AND BLEW HIM OFF THE RUNWAY. WHEN HE EXITED THE AIRSTRIP, THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE WINGS AND FUSELAGE.
