What happened
During the approach, the pilot noted wind conditions were variable from 230 to 270 degrees at 25 to 35 knots, which differed from the ATIS report of 260 degrees at 20 knots gusting 30 knots. Because of these winds and associated moderate turbulence, the pilot elected to land with no flaps, approximately 10 knots fast and a little long on the runway.
As the aircraft entered the flare for landing, it experienced an upward then downward gust, resulting in the left wing being high and a strong movement to the right. During this phase of flight, the airplane struck two VASI light structures while still airborne. After the pilot successfully realigned the aircraft with the runway centerline, the plane landed but subsequently departed the right side of the runway. The incident resulted in no injuries, though airport officials reported damage to three runway signs and four runway lights.
