Event Details
During the landing rollout on runway 21, the pilot of a general aviation airplane encountered a wind gust. The pilot lost control of the airplane, and the left wing contacted the runway surface. Subsequently, the airplane veered off the runway. After the gust encounter, the pilot regained control and redirected the airplane back onto the runway.
Weather Conditions
Five minutes before the incident, the local weather report indicated the wind was from 300 degrees at 4 knots. There were no reports of gusts in that report. Before landing, the pilot had flown over the airport, observed the windsock, and received automated weather information.
Sequence of Events
Nothing unusual occurred during the final approach. The pilot had taken preparatory steps by overflying the airport and checking the windsock and automated weather. During the landing rollout, a wind gust caused a loss of control, leading to the left wing contacting the runway. The airplane then veered off the runway surface. The pilot was able to regain control of the airplane and steer it back onto the runway.
