I wouldn’t post this except that a local news report stated that the plane crashed. ASN quotes the FAA: “Aircraft on landing, landed hard and tried a go-around when a gust of wind blew the plane to the side and went off the end of the runway.” The owner appears to be a Tecnam dealer. Flightaware shows a short flight from Scottsdale, north and then west around the mess of airspace in the Phoenix metro, and then south for a right downwind entry for runway 35. Maybe they were flying over to show the plane off and/or camp during the Buckeye Air Fair this weekend.

Anyone know what the actual winds were like Thursday afternoon?

Thursday was unremarkable here.

Friday was very windy.

I pulled the 48-hr historical METARs for BXK and the strongest wind was a mid-morning crosswind.

AZ Time is GMT-7 for reference. Bottom METAR is Thursday, 7:55 AM local.

I’m in the area this week and didn’t think Thursday’s weather was at all remarkable. The METARs you both posted match my memory. The incident apparently happened around 2142Z, so, unless there was a stray gust between METAR reports bracketing that time (calm and 4 knots), it’s hard for me to imagine blaming it on the wind.

You could always blame it on the rain.

 
I was flying in from TX on Thursday. I had to slow down while the airport was closed. They did a good job getting the airport reopened. I landed about 1545 local, wind was calm and everyone was landing on 17.
 
I wondered about the short note I saw on the AOPA Buckeye page earlier today. Came in this afternoon before the airspace closed and 17 was in use. Seemed AWOS kept reporting crosswinds whenever I checked.
