Oslo, Minnesota 56744
Saturday, October 5, 2002 10:45 CDT
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
During the landing rollout, the pilot reported a wind gust which, "blew me off the east side of the runway." Before the airplane could be stopped, it entered a soft, muddy area adjacent to the runway. The nose wheel "dug in" and the airplane nosed over.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
Failure of the pilot-in-command to maintain directional control during the landing roll. Contributing factors were the wind gust and the soft terrain adjacent to the runway.
