Narrative:
We were on final approach to runway 14 at bradford (bfd). I was the PF and we were experiencing strong gusty winds and turbulence. The operation was essentially normal up to this point. In transition to the flare the aircraft experienced a drop and sharp yaw to the right, then to the left. The captain assumed control in the transition from right to left yaw. The captain initiated the go around procedure. The aircraft pitched up, then rolled left. In order to stop the left roll, which would have inverted the aircraft, the captain implemented full right aileron control input. Feeling that the aircraft was not responding to control inputs the captain retarded the power levers to idle. At this point he regained sufficient control to level the wings. We landed on runway 14 at an angle that resulted in the aircraft departing the runway to the left. The aircraft skidded to a stop. The captain opened the airstair door. Passenger were evacuate/evacuationed through this, and seat 6A emergency exit.

Title: FO OF AN LTT LOST DIRECTIONAL CTL OF THE ACFT DURING LNDG RESULTING IN THE ACFT SKIDDING OFF THE SIDE OF THE RWY AND THE PAX BEING EVACED WHERE THE ACFT CAME TO REST.
Narrative: WE WERE ON FINAL APCH TO RWY 14 AT BRADFORD (BFD). I WAS THE PF AND WE WERE EXPERIENCING STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND TURB. THE OP WAS ESSENTIALLY NORMAL UP TO THIS POINT. IN TRANSITION TO THE FLARE THE ACFT EXPERIENCED A DROP AND SHARP YAW TO THE R, THEN TO THE L. THE CAPT ASSUMED CTL IN THE TRANSITION FROM R TO L YAW. THE CAPT INITIATED THE GAR PROC. THE ACFT PITCHED UP, THEN ROLLED L. IN ORDER TO STOP THE L ROLL, WHICH WOULD HAVE INVERTED THE ACFT, THE CAPT IMPLEMENTED FULL R AILERON CTL INPUT. FEELING THAT THE ACFT WAS NOT RESPONDING TO CTL INPUTS THE CAPT RETARDED THE PWR LEVERS TO IDLE. AT THIS POINT HE REGAINED SUFFICIENT CTL TO LEVEL THE WINGS. WE LANDED ON RWY 14 AT AN ANGLE THAT RESULTED IN THE ACFT DEPARTING THE RWY TO THE L. THE ACFT SKIDDED TO A STOP. THE CAPT OPENED THE AIRSTAIR DOOR. PAX WERE EVACED THROUGH THIS, AND SEAT 6A EMER EXIT.
