What happened
The pilot reported that the landing was conducted in wind conditions characterized by gusts reaching 20 knots. Upon initial contact with the runway surface, the aircraft ballooned, prompting the pilot to apply power to maintain directional control. As the landing roll continued, the aircraft began to drift toward the left side of the runway. The pilot initiated a go-around procedure; however, he was unable to achieve flight conditions. The aircraft subsequently departed the paved surface, traversed rough terrain, and impacted a chain link fence.
The investigation
Investigation details regarding mechanical examination or specific findings are not provided in the source material.
Findings
Contributing factors identified include the gusty wind environment and the pilot's inability to recover from the landing roll. The aircraft's drift to the left during the rollout was noted as a key event leading to the departure from the runway.
