Analysis
During a biennial flight review, the private pilot began a crosswind landing on a 30 ft wide runway. As the pilot started to flare, the aircraft began drifting to the left. The instructor (CFI) reported that he waited too long to take control or initiate a go-around and the aircraft landed to the left of the runway. The aircraft collided with a runway light and was damaged.
