## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS CLEARED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 26L. THE PILOT STATED THAT THE WIND WAS REPORTING 350 AT 6 KNOTS. ON THE ROLLOUT THE PILOT SAID THAT A RIGHT CROSSWIND, AND THAT HE WAS SLOW TO REACT, CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO TIP TO THE LEFT SIDE. THE PILOT REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO ATC. ATC ASKED IF HE NEEDED ANY ASSISTANCE, THE PILOTS REPLIED THAT ALL SYSTEMS WERE NORMAL AND ASKED FOR A TAXI CLEARANCE TO THE RAMP.
