NTSB Factual Report

The pilot stated that he was performing a normal landing to runway 27. During the landing flare, the airplane veered to the right, proceeded off the edge of the runway, down a grass slope, and into the airport boundary chain link fence. Airport weather observations recorded at the time of the accident were winds 230 at 10 knots, and clear sky. The airplane had no mechanical failures or malfunctions during the flight.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's inadequate compensation for the crosswind, which resulted in a loss of directional control.
