Read the full NTSB narrative

WHILE LANDING IN A RIGHT CROSSWIND THE AIRPLANE VEERED TO THE RIGHT OFF THE RUNWAY AND ONTO A GRASS AREA. THE PILOT TOOK OFF AND PERFORMED A SECOND LANDING WHICH RESULTED IN THE SAME VEERING ACTION. THE SUBSEQUENT GROUND ROLL INTO THE GRASS LED TO A COLLISION WITH AN INTERSECTING RUNWAY EDGE WHICH BROKE THE NOSEWHEEL OFF THE AIRPLANE.
