Incident Overview
A certificated private pilot, who was also the owner of the aircraft, was returning from a local sightseeing flight that had lasted approximately 45 minutes. The pilot set up the approach in a normal fashion, but reported that the crosswind seemed stronger than what had been reported by the Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS).
Pilot Account
According to the pilot, the approach resulted in a hard bounce on the runway. Following the bounce, the aircraft was blown off the right side of the runway by the crosswind. The pilot stated that a go-around was attempted after the bounce, but the airspeed was insufficient. Consequently, the aircraft settled onto the grass beyond the parallel taxiway.
Outcome
The aircraft came to rest on the grass area adjacent to the runway. No further details regarding the extent of damage or injuries were provided in the source material.
