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 reported that he landed on runway 19 with a wind from 250 deg at 15, gusting 20 knots. He reported that as the aircraft rolled out, a severe gust of wind was encountered that put the plane on the left gear only. Subsequently, the left gear failed and the left wing, fuselage and propeller were damaged. The pilot was required to wear an artificial limb while flying.
