Accident Report
While landing on a private airstrip, the airplane encountered snow on the runway and subsequently nosed over. The pilot reported that he had removed snow from the runway the day prior to the accident.
Pilot's Description
According to the pilot's statement, after touchdown the left wheel entered snow at the runway's edge. While applying brakes and making corrections, the aircraft's right wheel also caught snow on the opposite edge. This pulled the nose wheel into the snow. The aircraft slowed rapidly. Then, without warning, the left wing and the nose pitched forward, causing the aircraft to nose over. The pilot concluded his account by stating that the incident was "all over" at that point.
Additional Details
