Incident Overview
A single-engine, tail wheel equipped airplane experienced a loss of directional control during the landing roll-out on a private airstrip. The event occurred when the aircraft encountered a gust of wind while rolling out after touchdown. The pilot was unable to correct the airplane's ground track before the aircraft reached soft soil near the edge of the strip.
Pilot Actions
In an attempt to stop the airplane quickly, the pilot applied full brakes. The subsequent braking action left brake marks on the ground. Propeller strikes were also observed, indicating contact with the surface. The airplane then nosed over and came to rest in an inverted position.
Airstrip and Wind Conditions
The private strip is oriented approximately 020 degrees. Winds in the vicinity were reported as variable from 340 degrees to 050 degrees at 11 knots. These conditions suggest a crosswind component relative to the runway direction, which may have influenced the airplane's handling during the roll-out.
Damage
The airplane sustained damage consistent with the propeller strikes and the nosed-over attitude. No further details on specific damage items are available from the source.
Conclusion
The sequence of events, as described, includes the gust encounter, loss of ground track control, soft soil contact, and subsequent nosed-over during the full brake application.
