Summary:

皇冠体育app aircraft had just touched down at Thorney Island on Runway 01 in a crosswind: the reported wind was 90潞 at 9 kt. 皇冠体育app pilot used the wheel landing technique to land in order to 鈥渕aintain direction鈥� during the ground roll. Initially, directional control of the aircraft was maintained but, as it slowed and the tail was lowered, the aircraft swung 鈥渧iolently鈥� to the right, into wind. 皇冠体育app pilot overcorrected with left rudder which caused an opposite swing and veer to the left. He reported that an 鈥渦ncontrollable oscillation鈥� then developed and the aircraft collided with a wooden post and the fencing that boarded the left side of the concrete runway. 皇冠体育app pilot, who was uninjured, made the aircraft safe before vacating.
