Incident Overview
A pilot was practicing touch-and-go landings on Runway 26. He estimated the wind to be from 180 degrees at 8 knots. During the third landing attempt, a 15-knot gust of wind caused the aircraft to drift to the right.
Pilot Actions
In response, the pilot applied left aileron and right rudder to correct the drift. However, upon touchdown, the aircraft veered off the right side of the runway. The right wing tip dragged along the ground, and the aircraft nosed over.
Crosswind Considerations
The pilot noted that the crosswind gust exceeded the aircraft's crosswind capability. According to the aircraft handbook, the maximum demonstrated crosswind velocity is 12 knots.
