Read the full NTSB narrative

THE ACFT WAS BLOWN FROM OVER THE RWY DURING FLARE IN A X-WIND. THIS WAS A NIGHT LANDING FOR A PLT WITH LIMITED TOTAL ANDALMOST NO NIGHT FLYING EXPERIENCE. ALSO THE PLT HAD FLOWN OVER 12 HOURS IN THE LAST 24,WITH CONSIDERABLE TURBULENCE AND THUNDERSTORMS. DURING THE FLARE THE PLT ADDED POWER BUT KEPT THE NOSE HIGH WITH NO FLAPS AND THE ACFT STALLED. THE PLT SAID HE COULD NOT SEE OVER THE NOSE AND DID NOT REALIZE THE ACFT WAS NO LONGER ALIGNED WITH THE RWY. THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH A TAXIWAY AND A DITCH AFTER COLLAPSING THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR.
