Accident Overview
During the landing rollout at the conclusion of an instructional flight, the pilot reported losing control of the airplane after encountering a strong gust of wind that lifted the left wing and caused the plane to veer to the right. The airplane subsequently exited the runway, and a wing contacted the ground, resulting in substantial damage.
Wind Conditions
According to the flight instructor, the local wind was 50 degrees off the center of the runway and was considerably different from the wind reported on the ATIS. The instructor characterized the gust as possibly a dust devil that caught the left wing and began lifting it up.
Aircraft Control
The pilot noted that despite fully deflecting the left aileron to the left during the event, the airplane continued to veer to the right and departed the runway. The loss of control occurred during the rollout phase after touchdown.
