Event Summary
A pilot reported that during the landing flare, a gust of wind lifted the airplane, causing it to bounce back onto the runway. The pilot was unable to maintain directional control, and the airplane departed the side of the runway. Subsequently, the right main landing gear collapsed, and the right wing contacted the ground before the airplane came to rest.
Pilot's Account
According to the pilot, a crosswind was present during the approach and landing. He stated that he was not quick enough with rudder correction to counteract the wind's effect, leading to the loss of control. The pilot noted that the gust lifted the airplane just at touchdown, exacerbating the situation.
Damage
The right landing gear collapsed during the excursion, and the right wing sustained impact damage from contacting the ground. The extent of further damage was not specified in the report.
