Incident Overview
A tailwheel-equipped airplane experienced a ground loop and subsequent nose-over during the landing roll on unimproved terrain. The pilot had earlier performed a touch-and-go on a ridgeline and, after encountering no difficulties, became "over confident" and decided to conduct a full stop landing.
Sequence of Events
During the landing roll, when the airplane slowed to below 5 miles per hour, a gust of wind lifted the left wing. The pilot applied power and attempted to correct for the gust but lacked control authority due to the reduced speed. The right wing tip then contacted the ground, causing the airplane to rotate to the right. The airplane nosed down, exposing the bottom of the fuselage to the wind, which subsequently blew the airplane over onto its top.
Environmental Conditions
The pilot reported the wind at 20 knots with gusts. The landing took place on unimproved terrain.
Pilot Actions
The pilot stated that after the touch-and-go, he felt overconfident and proceeded with a full stop landing. During the event, he applied power and tried to counteract the gust, but the low speed limited control effectiveness.
