  - weather condition - crosswind (contributing factor)
  - weather condition - gusts (contributing factor)
  - weather condition - turbulence (contributing factor)
  - compensation for wind conditions - inadequate, pilot in command (cause)
  - aircraft performance,landing capability - exceeded (contributing factor)

## Analysis

THE ACFT SUSTAINED SUBST DAMAGE AFTER UNCONTROLLED CONTACT WITH THE RWY DURING LANDING. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE LANDING WAS INADVERTENTLY ATTEMPTED AT A TIME WHEN THE WINDS SHIFTED TO A DIRECT X-WIND WITH GUSTS TO 35 KTS.

## FAA reports on this event (1)

The FAA's own accident and incident reports, matched to the aircraft by N-number and date (OpenAirDocs).

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
