Incident Overview
According to a witness, the pilot was attempting to land on a dirt road that also serves as a landing strip. The aircraft first touched down approximately 1,500 feet from the downhill end of the runway. During the landing roll, a wind gust caused the aircraft to balloon, and it drifted to the east extreme of the runway.
Pilot Actions
In response to the ballooning, the pilot added power and attempted another touchdown. However, the aircraft ballooned again. The pilot stated that after these maneuvers, there was insufficient distance remaining to stop before the end of the runway. To avoid a ditch at the runway's end, the pilot applied power and subsequently landed in an adjacent field.
Wind Conditions
The pilot estimated the wind at the time as from 300 degrees at 8 knots, gusting to 20 knots. No other weather information was provided.
Outcome
The aircraft came to rest in the field. The report does not specify any damage or injuries. No further details are available from the source.
