## Narrative

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

(-23) IT APPEARS THAT THE PILOT LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT WHILE LANDING AT BDN ON RUNWAY 16. ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, "WIND GUST BLEW AIRCRAFT OFF RUNWAY INTO SCRUB BRUSH." THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST APPROXIMATELY 150 FEET EAST OF RUNWAY CENTERLINE, AND APPROXIMATELY 1000 FEET FROM THRESHOLD. THE RIGHT WING TIP, RIGHT AILERON, AND RIGHT ELEVATOR CONTACTED THE GROUND SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP.
