What happened
During the final approach, the pilot reported an airspeed between 55 and 60 mph with a right quartering headwind of 10 knots. Just before touchdown, the wind decreased, which led to a loss of airspeed and a bounced landing. During the subsequent landing rollout, the pilot was unable to maintain control of the aircraft, causing it to depart from the left side of the runway. The aircraft then impacted an airport fence and a drainage ditch.
The investigation
An examination of the aircraft's flight controls, braking systems, and landing gear assemblies revealed no mechanical anomalies prior to the impact.
