Read the full NTSB narrative

THE ACFT WENT OFF THE RWY DURING LANDING. THE EXCURSION WAS TO THE LEFT & WAS NOT CORRECTED BEFORE THE ACFT MADE AN EXIT FROM THE RWY. THE CAPTAIN, IN A WRITTEN STATEMENT, SAID THAT HE WAS ANTICIPATING A RIGHT X-WIND BECAUSE HE WAS LANDING ON RWY 26L & THE WIND WAS FROM 020 DEGREES AT 12 KTS. HE HAD ALREADY ABORTED A LANDING ON RWY 17 DUE TO A TAILWIND. THE CAPTAIN OF ANOTHER ACFT WHICH LANDED IN FRONT OF THE INCIDENT ACFT REPORTED A RIGHT X-WIND. AN FAA INSPECTOR, QUALIFIED IN BOEING 727 ACFT, DUPLICATED ALL CONDITIONS OF THE INCIDENT IN A SIMULATOR AND CONCLUDED THAT THE INCIDENT WAS THE RESULT OF IMPROPER TECHNIQUE OR CORRECTIVE ACTION OR A DELAY IN RESPONSE.
