Narrative:

Upon landing on runway 36, a gust of wind caused the plane to skid off the runway to the right. To prevent damage to persons and property and while trying to regain control of airplane the aircraft crossed runway 32, before coming to a stop. A gust of wind at 20 KTS caused the plane to lose directional control. To avoid this situation in the future, use proper wind correction and avoid landing at airports that the wind component may exceed the maximum crosswind component for type.

Narrative: UPON LNDG ON RWY 36, A GUST OF WIND CAUSED THE PLANE TO SKID OFF THE RWY TO THE R. TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO PERSONS AND PROPERTY AND WHILE TRYING TO REGAIN CTL OF AIRPLANE THE ACFT CROSSED RWY 32, BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. A GUST OF WIND AT 20 KTS CAUSED THE PLANE TO LOSE DIRECTIONAL CTL. TO AVOID THIS SITUATION IN THE FUTURE, USE PROPER WIND CORRECTION AND AVOID LNDG AT ARPTS THAT THE WIND COMPONENT MAY EXCEED THE MAX XWIND COMPONENT FOR TYPE.
