Incident Details
The purpose of the instructional flight was to practice soft field landings and takeoffs, stall series, and VOR navigation. After completing airwork, the pilot flew to Robertson Field for short and soft field landings and takeoffs.
Sequence of Events
During the final soft field takeoff, 10 degrees of flaps were applied, and back pressure was held to keep weight off the nose wheel. The airplane was accelerated to full power, but some back pressure was released to achieve effective flight until reaching climb speed. A gust of wind caused the aircraft to drift to the left side of the runway. The plane rolled about 50 feet, and when braking was applied, the aircraft nosed downward and flipped inverted.
