Incident Overview
The pilot of the airplane reported that during the landing sequence, a wheel landing was performed. Immediately after touchdown, the airplane began to experience a weather vane effect, turning to the left. To counteract this, the pilot applied the right brake. This action caused the tail of the aircraft to rise.
Pilot Actions and Outcome
The pilot stated that he did not have enough elevator authority to lower the tail back down. As a result, the propeller made contact with the runway surface. The airplane subsequently slid approximately 18 feet on its cowling before nosing over. The landing occurred on runway 36.
Wind Conditions
The reported wind conditions, measured from a station 11 miles away, were from 280 degrees at 11 knots, gusting to 18 knots. No other meteorological information was provided in the source.
Aircraft and Damage
The source does not specify the aircraft type, registration, engine count, or any occupant information. The damage described includes propeller ground contact and the airplane sliding on the cowling, culminating in a nose-over. No injuries or fatalities were mentioned.
