Incident Overview
A student pilot was landing on Runway 1 in gusty crosswind conditions. During the final approach, the pilot used a crab technique to compensate for the crosswind. The pilot reported that at approximately 10 feet above ground level (AGL), the aircraft encountered a gust of wind and stalled onto the runway.
Sequence of Events
Following the stall, the aircraft bounced, then touched down with the nosewheel first. It subsequently veered to the left, entered a ditch, and nosed over. Witnesses stated that the wind was variable and gusty at the time of the accident.
