Incident Overview
At the conclusion of a cross-country flight, the pilot executed a normal approach and landing on a private gravel airstrip. During the landing roll, a gust of wind lifted the airplane's tail. As the tail returned to its normal position, the airplane began to veer to the right and slide sideways. The pilot attempted to correct the deviation but was unable to maintain directional control. The airplane continued its rightward movement, and the left wing ultimately made contact with the ground surface.
Sequence of Events
The landing had been routine until the gust occurred. The tail's rise and subsequent descent initiated an uncommanded right turn. Despite the pilot's corrective inputs, the airplane continued to veer and slide laterally. The left wing's contact with the gravel surface marked the end of the landing rollout.
