Analysis
During a gusty crosswind landing, touchdown was accomplished about 500 feet past the runway threshold. The aircraft bounced at touchdown. The pilot stated that he thought he had a flat main tire. The pilot momentarily added power after touchdown to go-around then decided to continue the landing. During the rollout, the aircraft departed the runway to the left. The pilot reported that when the acft collided with terrain the main landing gear was not down but the nose gear was down and locked. The landing gear and its systems were subsequently inspected and tested. No abnormalities could be found. The pilot estimated that the wind was gusting to 25 knots.
