## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS RETURNING TO KGKY (HOME BASE) FROM KSLR (SULPHUR SPRINGS, TX) AND WAS CLEARED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 34. WINDS WERE (ROUGHLY) 280º-290º@ ~13 G~23. PILOT WAS ON A STEADY FINAL, CRABBED FOR THE WIND, WITH EVERYTHING IN A NORMAL LANDING CONFIGURATION (FLAPS WERE BETWEEN 20º-30º?(THE AIRCRAFT HAS A  40º FLAP SETTING AVAILABLE). THE TOWER UPDATED WINDS ON  BASE AND ONE MORE TIME ON FINAL PER PILOT REQUEST. THE PILOT HAD LANDED IN SIMILAR WIND CONDITIONS MANY TIMES BEFORE. HE DID NOT THINK IT WOULD BE AN ISSUE. NO OTHER TRAFFIC WAS PRESENT EITHER IN THE AIR OR ON THE GROUND. AFTER THE MAINS HAD TOUCHED DOWN (NOW SLIGHTLY RIGHT OF CENTER) A GUST CAME FROM THE LEFT AND PUSHED THE AIRCRAFT  TO THE RIGHT (EAST). THE AIRCRAFT WAS SLOW.  THE PILOT RAN OUT OF ROLL CONTROL, AND WAS UNABLE TO CORRECT BACK ONTO THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT HAD INITIALLY ADDED FULL POWER TO GO AROUND, BUT SINCE HE WAS DRIFTING TOWARD THE T-HANGARS, THE PILOT REDUCED POWER TO IDLE AND CONCENTRATED ON MAINTAINING CONTROL. THE PILOT FELT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE AIRCRAFT AND CHOSE TO MAINTAIN A TAXI SPEED TO GET OUT OF THE GRASS (MUD?) AND ONTO THE PARALLEL TAXIWAY ?A?

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.
