What happened
During a landing sequence, the pilot executed a stabilized visual approach while managing a right-hand crosswind. Although the aircraft type initially made contact with the runway centerline, the wind caused the plane to drift toward the right side of the runway. In an attempt to compensate for this lateral movement, the pilot applied a correction that caused the aircraft to swing sharply to the left.
As a result of this sudden movement, the plane exited the left side of the runway and slid across the ground until it reached a full stop. The impact of the excursion caused the right main landing gear to collapse and led to the right wingtip striking the terrain. The incident resulted in substantial damage to both the wing and the fuselage.
Findings
An investigation into the event confirmed that there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions present during the flight. A post-accident inspection of the aircraft showed no signs of pre-impact anomalies. The primary factor in the excursion was the pilot overcorrecting for the wind-induced drift during the landing roll.
