Incident Details
A student pilot was practicing touch-and-go landings on Runway 12. According to the pilot's report, after landing, he began to set the trim and prepare for takeoff when the tail of the aircraft popped up and he could hear the wind whistling. He applied full power, but the aircraft began turning to the right. Despite applying full left rudder to compensate, the pilot found this insufficient, and the aircraft subsequently flipped over while still on the runway.
Weather Conditions
Approximately 12 minutes after the accident, the wind was reported as 170 degrees at 6 knots and variable. No other weather details were provided in the report.
