Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot landed with 10 degrees of flaps in a 10 to 15 knot, left crosswind condition. He reported that wind gusts picked up the left wing and he was unable to adequately compensate with power and aileron. The aircraft became airborne and then hit the ground in a left wing low attitude off the left side of the runway.
