## Narrative

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

ON DECEMBER 11, 2019, AT 1:37PM EST, A CESSNA P210N, REGISTERED AS N4805K TO RESOURCE EXTENSION, LLC. MADE RUNWAY CONTACT WITH THE PROPELLER AND RIGHT WING TIP DURING THE LANDING TOUCHDOWN ON RW35 AT KALAMAZOO BATTLE CREEK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (KAZO) IN KALAMAZOO.   THE AIRPLANE THEN EXITED THE RUNWAY TO THE WEST AND INTO THE GRASS BETWEEN TAXIWAY B3 AND F.  THE PROPELLER EXHIBITED CURLING AT THE TIPS, WHILE THE RIGHT WING TIP EXHIBITED A BROKEN NAVIGATION LIGHT LENS AND SCUFFING ON THE LIGHT SHROUD AND WING TIP.

VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITION PREVAILED AT THE TIME, THE RUNWAY WAS DRY AND THE WINDS WERE 290 AT 16KTS, GUSTING TO 22KTS.

THE PILOT STATED: ?AS I LANDED THE CROSS WIND SHIFTED OR BRIEFLY DISAPPEARED, AND I DRIFTED LEFT ACROSS THE RUNWAY.  AS I TRIED TO CORRECT FOR THIS, WIND FROM THE LEFT RETURNED PRETTY STRONGLY, AND LIFTED THE LEFT WING, CAUSING THE RIGHT WING TIP TO BRIEFLY TOUCH THE GROUND.  THEN, TRYING TO GET THE RIGHT WING TIP UP, WHICH I DID, I LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND WENT OFF RUNWAY LEFT.?

THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE SOLE OCCUPANT / PILOT.   THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED AT THE JAMES M COX DAYTON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (KDAY).  AN IFR FLIGHT PLAN WAS FILED.
