Probable cause
The pilot-in-command's failure to compensate for wind conditions, resulting in loss of directional control during landing roll.
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 during landing roll on runway 33 she encountered gusty winds from the east and the aircraft weathervaned into the wind. She was unable to regain directional control prior to the aircraft going off the right side of the runway and nosing down.
