The pilot elected to land on runway 30R. The winds were reported as 050 at 13. During the flare the pilot realized that the left main landing gear was off the side of the runway. During rollout the left wing impacted a runway light. The pilot was able to negotiate around a second runway light and re-enter the runway. A post accident examination of the airplane failed to reveal any pre-accident anomalies.
