What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
From edited statement of airman privacy data omitted:
"I was entering a downwind for 19L. I was turning base, other aircraft in the pattern stated strong wind and gusts. I called long final 2 miles out, it was turbulent, but I had no trouble handling it,
Indicated airspeed was about 70 and GPS ground speed 50.
I didn?t add flaps until I was at 500? AGL when I put in 15% flaps.
Around 200? AGL I was having trouble keeping the plane level and lined up on the runway.
The right wing lifted about 20 or 30 degrees, I moved the stick right, that helped, I pushed full right rudder and the plane turned to the left.
Due to a bad cross wind, I decided to land off the runway in a big grass field.
Then the right wing hit a chain link fence."
