The aircraft landed on Runway (RWY) 28 at EIDW in conditions of strong and gusty crosswinds. After its initial touchdown, the aircraft became airborne again and travelled diagonally above the runway surface before it touched down on the right edge of the runway, in the area where Taxiway (TWY) E3 joins RWY 28. The propeller struck a taxiway edge light, destroying it, before the Pilot regained directional control and steered the aircraft back to the central area of the runway.
