Narrative:

After making 3 lndgs today in the same conditions at nearby airports, I was returning to my 'home base' airport and was landing to the north on runway 34. The wind was reported to be 280 degrees at 29 KTS with peak gusts to 40-45 KTS. Runway 34 is 5000 ft long with first 500 ft temporarily displaced during construction. This was not a contributing factor. I touched down just beyond the displaced threshold with approximately 10 degree flaps and aligned within 5 degrees of the runway heading. As soon as I touched down, a strong gust of crosswind 'ballooned' the aircraft back into the air. However, the forward airspeed had decreased considerably. The crosswind from the west contributed to the second touchdown being just off the paved runway on the grassy and somewhat muddy area on the east side between the runway and the parallel taxiway. Aircraft was headed for a drainage ditch with a culvert and perpendicular taxiway so I added full power and attempted an aborted landing 'go around.' I cleared the ditch but I did not have sufficient airspeed for the aircraft to become airborne. I was unable to control the direction of the aircraft and did not want to get any closer to other aircraft parked or taxiing so, I closed the throttle and stopped in the grass between taxiway and ramp area. The aircraft was damaged in left main landing gear and ailerons. I was not hurt at all.

Title: PLT OF AN SMA CAUGHT BY STRONG WIND GUST CAUSED A BOUNCE AND DRIFT OFF THE RWY. SPD WAS TOO SLOW TO GAR AND ACFT WAS DAMAGED.

Narrative: AFTER MAKING 3 LNDGS TODAY IN THE SAME CONDITIONS AT NEARBY ARPTS, I WAS RETURNING TO MY 'HOME BASE' ARPT AND WAS LNDG TO THE N ON RWY 34. THE WIND WAS RPTED TO BE 280 DEGS AT 29 KTS WITH PEAK GUSTS TO 40-45 KTS. RWY 34 IS 5000 FT LONG WITH FIRST 500 FT TEMPORARILY DISPLACED DURING CONSTRUCTION. THIS WAS NOT A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. I TOUCHED DOWN JUST BEYOND THE DISPLACED THRESHOLD WITH APPROX 10 DEG FLAPS AND ALIGNED WITHIN 5 DEGS OF THE RWY HEADING. AS SOON AS I TOUCHED DOWN, A STRONG GUST OF XWIND 'BALLOONED' THE ACFT BACK INTO THE AIR. HOWEVER, THE FORWARD AIRSPD HAD DECREASED CONSIDERABLY. THE XWIND FROM THE W CONTRIBUTED TO THE SECOND TOUCHDOWN BEING JUST OFF THE PAVED RWY ON THE GRASSY AND SOMEWHAT MUDDY AREA ON THE E SIDE BTWN THE RWY AND THE PARALLEL TXWY. ACFT WAS HEADED FOR A DRAINAGE DITCH WITH A CULVERT AND PERPENDICULAR TXWY SO I ADDED FULL PWR AND ATTEMPTED AN ABORTED LNDG 'GAR.' I CLRED THE DITCH BUT I DID NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT AIRSPD FOR THE ACFT TO BECOME AIRBORNE. I WAS UNABLE TO CTL THE DIRECTION OF THE ACFT AND DID NOT WANT TO GET ANY CLOSER TO OTHER ACFT PARKED OR TAXIING SO, I CLOSED THE THROTTLE AND STOPPED IN THE GRASS BTWN TXWY AND RAMP AREA. THE ACFT WAS DAMAGED IN L MAIN LNDG GEAR AND AILERONS. I WAS NOT HURT AT ALL.
