Accident Sequence
The pilot was performing touch-and-go practice takeoffs and landings at an abandoned gravel airstrip. During the approach, the pilot configured the airplane in a crab to the right to counteract a right-quartering crosswind. On final approach, approximately 15 feet above ground level, the crosswind diminished.
The airplane touched down on the runway surface while still in the right crab, with the right main landing gear making initial contact. The airplane then veered to the left, departing the edge of the runway. Subsequently, the main landing gear impacted a dirt berm, resulting in a nose over. The airplane came to rest inverted.
Pilot Report
