What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On April 27, 2019 the airman failed to maintain aircraft control while landing at 74V. The airman stated that when they were about 15 miles from the airport they listened to the ASOS and the winds were reporting between 320 and 290 from 5 to 7 knots. The airman then entered the traffic pattern for runway 25. As the mains of the aircraft touched down the airman noted that the right wing lifted up and the aircraft began to veer left of centerline. The airman stated that they applied right aileron and right rudder and the right wing came down but the aircraft continued to track further left of centerline. The airman stated that they applied full right rudder but the aircraft ultimately departed the pavement left of the runway and the aircraft ultimately stopped on the dirt about 100 feet left of the runway between the runway and the taxiway.
