What happened
The pilot was operating an aircraft en route and received automated surface observing system (ASOS) weather updates. Approximately thirty minutes before the planned landing, reported winds at the destination airport were from 160 degrees at 6 knots. As the aircraft approached, approximately ten nautical miles out, an updated report indicated winds had shifted to 120 degrees at 3 knots.
During the landing roll on runway 16, the pilot encountered a gust of wind. The pilot attempted to regain control, but the airplane swerved to the right and departed the right side of the runway. The airplane's left main landing gear struck a ditch and the left wing tip struck the ground.
