Monday, November 11, 2002 13:10 PST
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
The airplane veered off of the runway during landing and nosed over. During the landing roll with a 90-degree right crosswind, the airplane began to weathervane to the right. The pilot applied aft elevator, full left rudder, and full left brake. The left wing contacted the runway, and the airplane departed the runway. It went into sand and came to rest inverted. The airport manager reported that gusty wind conditions existed during the time of the accident.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
the pilot's inadequate compensation for gusty crosswind conditions and his failure to maintain directional control.
