## Narrative

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

PILOT REPORTED THAT HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO LAND ON RUNWAY 32 AT SAZ.  JUST PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN A GUST OF WIND PUSHED AIRCRAFT TO THE RIGHT AND LIFTED THE LEFT WING WITH ONLY THE RIGHT MAIN WHEEL CONTACTING THE RUNWAY.  THE AIRCRAFT THEN LIFTED OFF THE RUNWAY A FEW FEET AND THEN CAME BACK DOWN ON THE NOSE WHEEL AND RIGHT MAIN WHEEL AND THE PROPELLER CONTACTED THE RUNWAY.  THE AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY AND THE LEFT MAIN WHEEL STRUCK A RUNWAY EDGE LIGHT.  AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP JUST OFF THE RUNWAY.

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.
