Factual Information

He stated that gusty wind conditions may have been a factor. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

Probable Cause and Findings

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing rollout in gusting wind conditions.
