What happened
The pilot reported that upon initial touchdown, contact was made with the right main wheel only. The aircraft remained on the runway surface for a brief period before becoming airborne again. During this second lift-off, the airplane banked significantly to the right.
In response to the situation, the pilot applied additional power, causing the engine to reach high revolutions per minute. This action resulted in a sharp swing of the aircraft to the right, with the heading changing by nearly 180 degrees. The airplane eventually touched down off the runway surface to the right side. Environmental conditions at the time included winds gusting at 18 knots.
The investigation
The source documentation does not provide specific details regarding a mechanical examination or post-accident inspection of the aircraft components.
Findings
Contributing factors identified in the report include the availability of an alternative runway surface and the wind conditions. Specifically, a turf runway designated as 18 was available for use during the operation. The gusting winds were noted as a relevant environmental factor during the event.
