What happened
The pilot was conducting a standard final approach to Runway 26 under challenging meteorological conditions characterized by turbulence and significant wind shear. At the time of the event, the pilot estimated the ambient wind direction to be from 360 degrees with a speed ranging between 15 and 20 knots.
Upon main gear touchdown on the runway surface, the aircraft was subjected to a sudden wind gust. The pilot estimated the intensity of this gust to be in excess of 30 knots. The force of the gust caused the aircraft to lose directional control, resulting in it veering off the side of the runway. The aircraft then struck a fence located adjacent to the airfield boundary.
Findings
The primary factor contributing to the incident was the encounter with strong wind gusts during the critical phase of landing. The abrupt change in wind velocity likely overwhelmed the pilot's ability to maintain lateral control, leading to the departure from the runway environment.
