Accident Sequence
The pilot of a tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that during the landing approach, the airplane encountered terrain-induced turbulence as it crossed the runway threshold. This resulted in a bounce upon touchdown. During the subsequent landing roll, the left wing rose, and the airplane began a "sweeping turn to the left."
Pilot Actions and Runway Excursion
The pilot attempted to correct the unintended left turn by applying right rudder and right brake. Despite these inputs, the airplane continued to the left, departing the runway surface. It traveled approximately 25 feet down an embankment before coming to a stop.
Damage and Mechanical Status
The right wing sustained substantial damage during the excursion. The pilot stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Pilot Report Summary
In the pilot's report, he attributed the bounce to turbulence over the runway threshold. No further details regarding weather conditions or time of day were provided. The aircraft's registration and specific model were not disclosed in the report.
