Accident Details
A float-equipped airplane was landing on a remote mountain lake in gusty wind conditions. The pilot stated that the airplane touched down with a tailwind component of approximately 5 knots. During the landing roll, a gust caused the tailwind to increase rapidly, resulting in the airplane decelerating much less quickly than the pilot had anticipated.
Pilot Report
According to the pilot, the airplane struck the beach with enough forward velocity to cause it to nose over. The pilot did not report any other factors contributing to the accident.
Outcome
The airplane nosed over after striking the beach. The extent of damage and any injuries were not specified in the source.
