## Narrative

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

WINDS AT KISSIMMEE AIRPORT WERE REPORTED AT 040 DEGREES 15 KNOTS GUSTING TO 18 KNOTS.  RUNWAY 04 WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PREFERRED RUNWAY TO LAND, BUT WAS TEMPORARILY CLOSED DUE TO A DISABLED AIRPLANE ON THE RUNWAY.  THE OPERATIONAL RUNWAY WAS RUNWAY 330, WHICH THE PILOT MENTIONED HE ACCEPTED AS THE CROSSWIND COMPONENT WAS WITHIN THE AIRCRAFT LIMITATIONS.  UPON LANDING AT KISSIMMEE AIRPORT (KISM), A STRONGER THAN UNEXPECTED CROSSWIND CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO EXIT THE RUNWAY ON THE ROLLOUT.  THE PILOT MENTIONED HE EXPERIENCED A STRONG GUSTING CROSSWIND ON LANDING, AND HAD FULL CONTROL APPLICATION INTO THE WIND.  HE ACCEPTED THE ROLL OUT ONTO THE GRASS AS OPPOSED TO ATTEMPTING A GO-AROUND WITH A HIGH POWER/TORQUE ENGINE AND TAILWHEEL.  THE WERE NO INJURIES, AND MAINTENANCE INSPECTION REVEALED NO DAMAGE.

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.
