Accident Description
A commercial pilot was conducting a wheel landing to the active runway. During the landing roll out, the airplane began to veer to the right. The pilot applied left rudder, which temporarily corrected the direction, but the airplane then veered to the left. In response, the pilot applied full right rudder and added power, but these inputs did not produce the desired effect. The airplane subsequently experienced an on-ground loss of control, departed the runway, nosed over, and came to rest on its back.
Sequence of Events
The landing commenced as a normal wheel landing. Shortly after touchdown, the airplane's directional control was compromised as it veered right. The pilot's corrective input of left rudder initially stabilized the path briefly, but then a left veer occurred. The pilot's subsequent application of full right rudder and power failed to regain control. The airplane continued off the runway surface, nosed over, and came to rest inverted.
Damage and Final Position
The airplane sustained damage consistent with a nose-over and came to rest on its back. The specific extent of damage is not detailed in the report.
