## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED ON LANDING THEN CAME BACK DOWN. THE AIRMAN STATED THAT HE PUSHED FORWARD ON THE YOKE TO STICK THE MAIN GEAR ON THE RUNWAY AND STOP THE AIRCRAFT FROM PORPOISING.  AS THE TAIL SETTLED DOWN THE RUDDER WAS FOUND STARVED FOR AIR BEHIND THE FUSELAGE, THE WIND GAVE IT A PUSH SIDEWAYS BEFORE THE TAIL WHEEL MADE CONTACT.  THE AIRMAN STATED THAT HE FELT THE AIRCRAFT SHIFT AND GAVE FULL RIGHT RUDDER AND BRAKE.  HE STATED THAT HE WAS  NOT ABLE TO OVERCOME THE FORCE OF THE CROSSWIND AND THE AIRPLANE VEERED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY WHERE IT LOOPED AROUND TAKING OUT A RUNWAY LIGHT DAMAGING THE AIRCRAFT WING TIP AND AILERON.
