Incident Overview
A pilot reported an incident at Muncie, Indiana, after contacting the MIE tower approximately 20 miles north of the airport. The pilot received a weather briefing indicating a choice between Runway 14 or Runway 02, with winds reported as 12 knots from 080 degrees. The pilot selected Runway 14 for landing.
Approach and Landing
The pilot executed a slipping approach and landed the aircraft on Runway 14. After touchdown, the pilot neutralized the ailerons. According to the pilot, a gust of wind then caught the aircraft, causing the left wing to rise. The aircraft veered off the right side of the runway.
Go-Around Attempt and Sequence
The pilot attempted a go-around but discontinued the attempt upon hearing the propeller striking the runway. The pilot then shut down the engine as the aircraft approached a ditch at approximately 10 to 15 miles per hour. The wheels became stuck in the mud, and the aircraft performed a very slow nose-over.
