Narrative:
Landed at geu. Both mains touched down, wind gust from right lifted right wing and right landing gear. This turned the aircraft to the right with the left wing almost touching the runway. I reduced power completely and turned the yoke into the wind to set the right wheel back on the runway. This put the aircraft off the right side of the runway. I held the aircraft straight and regained control. This put the aircraft off the runway and in the dirt. While slowing the aircraft down, I avoided runway lights and signs. After the aircraft stopped, I requested clearance to parking ramp.
