Accident Description
The pilot-in-command (PIC) was conducting a roundtrip flight to multiple airports across Kansas and Missouri. The aircraft owner was aboard for the pleasure trip. The landing occurred at Grain Valley Airport. Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on one gear and bounced into the air. It then settled on both main landing gear, but when the nose gear made contact with the runway surface, the aircraft veered to the left and departed the left side of the east-west oriented runway.
Weather Conditions
Wind conditions were reported as blowing from 310 degrees magnetic at 15 knots, with reports from the accident airport indicating gusts up to 22 knots at the time of the accident. The PIC had obtained weather information and was aware of the wind conditions along the route of flight.
Pilot's Account
The PIC stated that after the nose gear contacted the runway, the aircraft turned left and he was unable to correct the deviation before exiting the runway edge. No landing gear problem was noted after the landing.
