Probable cause

The pilot's inadequate compensation for gusty crosswind conditions during landing, which resulted in a loss of control and collision with the runway. Factors contributing to the accident were the failure of the aileron augmentation (spoiler) flight control system, diminished directional (roll) control, and crosswind gusts.
