Incident Summary
Aircraft operations came to an abrupt halt when a landing on Runway 17 resulted in a runway excursion and nose-over. According to the pilot's account, the wind was reported from the southwest at four knots. The pilot assessed that the glide path and airspeed were satisfactory during the final approach. However, upon touchdown, the aircraft bounced and subsequently departed the prepared surface, ultimately nosing over.
Pilot Details
The pilot at the controls held a flight instructor rating and had accumulated approximately 3,800 total flying hours. In the preceding 90 days, the pilot had completed about 200 landings. He was serving as the pilot-in-command for the flight, while the aircraft owner occupied a passenger seat.
Sequence of Events
The accident occurred during a landing attempt on Runway 17. The pilot reported that the approach was normal, with good glide path and airspeed control. At the moment of touchdown, the aircraft bounced. The pilot was unable to maintain directional control, and the aircraft ran off the runway before coming to rest in a nose-over attitude.
Additional Information
The aircraft sustained damage from the nose-over, but the extent of damage was not specified in the available data. No other details about the aircraft type, registration, or precise location were provided.
