What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During wheel landing roll-out, pilot encountered direct crosswind that weathervaned aircraft to the right, off centerline of rwy 15. Pilot applied full power but ran short of adequate runway for go-around. The aircraft ground track was approximately parallel with the runway and descended into a water filled ditch before slamming into the rising shoulder and concrete culvert on the second taxiway. The impact sheared the left main landing gear supporting structure free of the fuselage. The propeller struck the culvert, the left wingtip made impact with the ground and the aircraft skidded completely across the taxiway coming to rest on the opposite shoulder. The CFI and student were wearing shoulder harnesses and were not injured. Pilot stated aircraft controls and engine were operating correctly. Video provided by aircraft privacy data omitted confirms these events. METAR 10.7 miles se of 81B: (klew) 181756Z auto 17012G17KT 10SM clr.
