The pilot landed on runway 35 (4,010 ft. x 60 ft., asphalt) at Albuquerque's Coronado Airport. There was a crosswind from the west. The airplane touched down midfield on its right main wheel and to the right of the runway centerline, leaving a 225 foot skid mark. The left main wheel then touched down and left a 350 foot skid mark. The left tire blew out and deflated. The airplane went off the end of the runway, down a slight hill, and came to rest on a service road. Recorded winds at Albuquerque International Airport, located 10 miles south of Coronado, were 260 degrees at 8 knots, with gusts to 24 knots. Under these conditions, a 090 crosswind existed. The computed crosswind component varied between 8 knots (9.2 mph) and 24 knots (27.6 mph).
