Incident Overview
A certificated private pilot was landing on an 800-foot-long airstrip situated at 2,500 feet mean sea level. The strip was oriented north and south along a ridge. The pilot was landing to the south and reported that the wind was coming upslope from the east at about 12 to 15 knots.
Sequence of Events
After touchdown, the pilot applied the brakes, causing the tail of the airplane to begin to rise. In response, he released the brakes and added engine power to keep the tail down. Despite these actions, the tail continued to rise, and the airplane nosed over.
