Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot reported the crosswind landing approach was normal. Just before touching down, the airplane ballooned to an altitude of about 15 feet above the runway. The airplane "mushed hard" onto the runway, then veered off the right side of the runway where it contacted a taxiway light, resulting in substantial damage to the airplane. Local winds were from 340 degrees at 10 knots and the airplane was landing on runway 06.
