Incident Overview
A pilot landed an airplane on runway 24. During the landing roll, a sudden wind shift occurred. After the main gear touched down, the tail of the aircraft lowered and then raised twice. Subsequently, the propeller struck the runway surface. The airplane then departed the right side of the runway onto grass, where it nosed over and came to rest inverted.
Wind Conditions
Wind data from the airport indicates that approximately five minutes before touchdown, the wind was recorded at 260 degrees at 8 knots. About two minutes after touchdown, the wind was recorded as 190 degrees, variable to 310 degrees, at 8 knots with gusts to 25 knots.
Sequence of Events
The landing initially appeared normal with main gear touchdown. However, immediately following touchdown, the tail of the aircraft repeatedly contacted the runway, leading to the propeller striking the ground. The aircraft then veered off the right side of the runway onto adjacent grass. The forward momentum caused the aircraft to nose over, leaving it inverted on the grass.
The pilot was the sole occupant of the aircraft. The extent of damage to the aircraft was not specified in the source.
Conclusion
The accident investigation source provides factual details of the landing incident and prevailing wind conditions but does not assign a probable cause.
