Analysis

During the landing roll, about 950 ft down the rwy, the acft hit a dip in the rwy & became airborne again. The plt stated that due to the gusty wind condition, the acft was blown over a grass field on the left side of the rwy. He considered going around, but decided to use the field to land & stop. While trying to stop, the left wing of the acft hit a tree. The plt reported that the wind was from 300 deg at 15 gusting 25 KTS.
