Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Canby, Oregon 97013
Thursday, July 4, 2013 13:00 PDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot reported that after the airplane touched down, it veered to the left and departed the runway onto a grassy area. He applied power in an effort to return to the runway; however, the airplane went into a ditch and nosed over, which resulted in substantial damage to the tail section. He stated that gusty wind conditions may have been a factor. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing rollout in gusting wind conditions.
