Incident Overview
Prior to departure, the pilot received a wind report of 040 degrees at 11 knots. Believing that the wind would subside as it typically did in the evening, the pilot proceeded with the flight. Upon returning to the departure airport, the pilot encountered crosswind conditions and employed a crab technique to compensate.
Sequence of Events
As the airplane descended, the pilot maintained a crab into the wind. Approximately 100 feet above the runway, the pilot removed the crab correction. Subsequently, the airplane drifted to the left of the runway centerline. Upon touchdown, the airplane ballooned and then exited the side of the runway. The nose wheel dug into soft ground adjacent to the runway, causing the airplane to nose over.
Damage and Final Position
The airplane came to rest inverted on the soft ground. No other details regarding injuries or further damage were provided in the source.
