Incident Overview
A certified flight instructor (CFI) reported that he was conducting an instructional lesson with a student pilot who had 25 hours of flight experience. The lesson included flying in the local area and performing three touch-and-go landings.
Events Leading to the Incident
While on base leg, the CFI observed a dust devil near the airport. He assessed its proximity to the airplane's planned course and concluded that it was not close enough to warrant aborting the approach and landing. The CFI believed that by hurrying, he could land before the dust devil became a factor.
Landing and Subsequent Contact
The airplane landed without any mishap and the crew turned off the runway. Immediately after, the dust devil contacted the airplane. Control was lost and the airplane nosed over.
