Accident Details
A certificated private pilot conducted a landing in a remote, off-airport location. After the landing was completed, the pilot began taxiing the airplane toward a position from which to take off. During the taxi, the main landing gear entered a small ditch, which caused the tail of the airplane to become elevated relative to the nose.
Wind and Nose-over
While the tail was elevated, a gust of wind caught the tail section. This resulted in the airplane nosing over. The aircraft received damage to the left wing and the left wing lift strut.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that the wind conditions at the time were from the east at 8 to 10 knots, with gusts from 15 to 20 knots.
Damage Assessment
The accident resulted in damage to the left wing and left wing lift strut. No other damage was reported.
