Accident Overview
An airline transport pilot was conducting a landing in a tailwheel-equipped airplane on a paved, dry runway. During the landing sequence, the airplane touched down initially but then bounced, becoming airborne again. The pilot recovered from the bounce by adding power to cushion the descent.
Pilot's Account
According to the pilot, as the right main wheel made contact with the runway a second time, the airplane abruptly veered to the left. It continued off the left side of the runway and subsequently nosed over. The pilot reported that no preaccident mechanical anomalies were present with the airplane.
Damage
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, doors, and rudder assembly as a result of the nose-over.
