Narrative:
Encountered moderate to severe turbulence approximately 50 ft AGL during landing flare. Encountered no more than light chop on final approach. Aircraft was held left wing down, nose aligned with centerline for a left crosswind normal landing. Aircraft touched down on the left truck-skip then right truck then both trucks. Very difficult to keep aircraft aligned on runway heading during flare maneuver. Thunderstorms to north. Runways 17/18 were active runways -- inside porks intersection asked to do 360 while they turned airport around, first assigned to runway 31R, flew runway 35R. Supplemental information from acn 245336: the first officer made several large roll inputs in a successful effort to maintain wings near level and runway alignment. Slightly over 2 G's on one touchdown. The rollout was normal. There were no LLWAS alerts issued nor did our inertial system indicate any significant wind changes. The flight recorder has shown a very rapid shift of wind below 200 ft AGL to a maximum of 33 KTS at 70 degrees off of the runway, from the left: a maximum roll of over 9 degrees to the left and 4 degrees to the right and a maximum roll rate of 15 degrees per second.

Title: AN ACR LGT HAD A DIFFICULT LNDG IN UNRPTED WINDSHEAR.
Narrative: ENCOUNTERED MODERATE TO SEVERE TURB APPROX 50 FT AGL DURING LNDG FLARE. ENCOUNTERED NO MORE THAN LIGHT CHOP ON FINAL APCH. ACFT WAS HELD L WING DOWN, NOSE ALIGNED WITH CTRLINE FOR A L XWIND NORMAL LNDG. ACFT TOUCHED DOWN ON THE L TRUCK-SKIP THEN R TRUCK THEN BOTH TRUCKS. VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP ACFT ALIGNED ON RWY HDG DURING FLARE MANEUVER. TSTMS TO N. RWYS 17/18 WERE ACTIVE RWYS -- INSIDE PORKS INTXN ASKED TO DO 360 WHILE THEY TURNED ARPT AROUND, FIRST ASSIGNED TO RWY 31R, FLEW RWY 35R. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 245336: THE FO MADE SEVERAL LARGE ROLL INPUTS IN A SUCCESSFUL EFFORT TO MAINTAIN WINGS NEAR LEVEL AND RWY ALIGNMENT. SLIGHTLY OVER 2 G'S ON ONE TOUCHDOWN. THE ROLLOUT WAS NORMAL. THERE WERE NO LLWAS ALERTS ISSUED NOR DID OUR INERTIAL SYS INDICATE ANY SIGNIFICANT WIND CHANGES. THE FLT RECORDER HAS SHOWN A VERY RAPID SHIFT OF WIND BELOW 200 FT AGL TO A MAX OF 33 KTS AT 70 DEGS OFF OF THE RWY, FROM THE L: A MAX ROLL OF OVER 9 DEGS TO THE L AND 4 DEGS TO THE R AND A MAX ROLL RATE OF 15 DEGS PER SECOND.
