Probable cause
The failure of the pilot to properly compensate for the crosswind resulting in failure to maintain directional control during landing. A factor was the crosswind condition.
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 stated that he lost control of the aircraft during the crosswind landing attempt. The aircraft departed the runway and collided with a ditch on the side of the runway.
