## Narrative

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

ON APRIL 7, 2022, AT 1700 MDT, N6359B, A CESSNA T210M,^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, LANDED ON RWY35 AT THE ANGEL FIRE, NM AIRPORT, KAXX. DURING THE LANDING ROLLOUT, THE AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF RWY35 INTO THE MUD STRIKING THE PROPELLER. THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED KTRM AIRPORT AT 1142 A.M. LOCAL ON 04/07/2022 ON A CROSS-COUNTRY FLIGHT TO KAXX AND WAS FLYING A PERSONAL FLIGHT UNDER 14 CFR 91 AND VFR IN VMC.  THE PILOT DID NOT FILE AN FAA FLIGHT PLAN.  THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERED MINOR DAMAGE.  NEITHER THE PILOT NOR THE PASSENGERS WERE INJURED.  INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THERE WERE NO MECHANICAL DEFECTS WITH THE AIRCRAFT.

THE PILOT APPEARS TO HAVE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME MAINTAINING DIRECTIONAL CONTROL DURING LANDING IN GUSTY/CROSSWIND CONDITIONS.   IT IS THE IIC?S OPINION THAT THE ROOT CAUSE FOR THIS INCIDENT WAS COMPLACENCY ON THE PILOT'S PART, AND THUS THE LOSS OF CONTROL DURING THE LANDING ROLLOUT.

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.
