Narrative:

I was the first officer on flight X. I was the PNF. Everything in cruise and during the descent into ZZZ seemed normal. We made the decision to land. The captain landed what I observed to be on centerline and started to decelerate the aircraft. As the airplane slowed; it moved further to the right side of the runway. As the situation developed; I assisted the captain with the control yoke and rudder pedals. The airplane departed the runway to the right. We then ran the ground evacuate/evacuation checklist and secured aircraft. There were no injuries to crew or passenger when questioned at scene after the incident. I feel the event occurred due to high winds. Supplemental information from acn 729073: this information is given to the best of my ability and recollection. I was PF on flight X; cleared for the visual. At approximately 2 mi final; received wind report from tower. I determined winds were within limits. At approximately 150 ft; I aligned the aircraft with the runway and proceeded to land. I touched down in the touchdown zone; on GS; on centerline; and on speed. Upon lowering the nose; the aircraft started to move to the right. Despite maximum control input; I was unable to regain directional control. Aircraft departed the runway. Minor damage to aircraft and airport property. Callback conversation with reporter acn 729071 revealed the following information: no post flight faults with the aircraft flight controls were discovered. He does believe that the rudder hard over protection system may have played a part in this incident.

Title: EMB145 CREW GOES OFF RWY AFTER LANDING IN STRONG CROSS WINDS.

Narrative: I WAS THE FO ON FLT X. I WAS THE PNF. EVERYTHING IN CRUISE AND DURING THE DSCNT INTO ZZZ SEEMED NORMAL. WE MADE THE DECISION TO LAND. THE CAPT LANDED WHAT I OBSERVED TO BE ON CTRLINE AND STARTED TO DECELERATE THE ACFT. AS THE AIRPLANE SLOWED; IT MOVED FURTHER TO THE R SIDE OF THE RWY. AS THE SITUATION DEVELOPED; I ASSISTED THE CAPT WITH THE CTL YOKE AND RUDDER PEDALS. THE AIRPLANE DEPARTED THE RWY TO THE R. WE THEN RAN THE GND EVAC CHKLIST AND SECURED ACFT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO CREW OR PAX WHEN QUESTIONED AT SCENE AFTER THE INCIDENT. I FEEL THE EVENT OCCURRED DUE TO HIGH WINDS. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 729073: THIS INFO IS GIVEN TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY AND RECOLLECTION. I WAS PF ON FLT X; CLRED FOR THE VISUAL. AT APPROX 2 MI FINAL; RECEIVED WIND RPT FROM TWR. I DETERMINED WINDS WERE WITHIN LIMITS. AT APPROX 150 FT; I ALIGNED THE ACFT WITH THE RWY AND PROCEEDED TO LAND. I TOUCHED DOWN IN THE TOUCHDOWN ZONE; ON GS; ON CTRLINE; AND ON SPD. UPON LOWERING THE NOSE; THE ACFT STARTED TO MOVE TO THE R. DESPITE MAX CTL INPUT; I WAS UNABLE TO REGAIN DIRECTIONAL CTL. ACFT DEPARTED THE RWY. MINOR DAMAGE TO ACFT AND ARPT PROPERTY. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR ACN 729071 REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: NO POST FLIGHT FAULTS WITH THE ACFT FLIGHT CONTROLS WERE DISCOVERED. HE DOES BELIEVE THAT THE RUDDER HARD OVER PROTECTION SYSTEM MAY HAVE PLAYED A PART IN THIS INCIDENT.
