Accident Details
A solo private pilot was conducting a local personal flight under Title 14, CFR Part 91 when the accident occurred. The pilot reported that he was landing at a rough and uneven off-airport site in a tailwheel airplane equipped with 31-inch tundra tires. As he entered the landing flare, the tailwheel contacted a raised portion of the landing surface. This impact pushed the tail of the airplane upward and forced the nose downward, resulting in the propeller striking the ground.
Sequence of Events
After the propeller hit the ground, the pilot stated he was unable to maintain control. The airplane subsequently nosed over. The accident sequence caused structural damage to both wings and the rudder. The pilot noted that there were no mechanical problems with the airplane that precipitated the accident.
Aircraft and Operator Information
The aircraft was a tailwheel configuration equipped with oversized tundra tires intended for off-airport operations. The flight was operated under general aviation rules. No additional details about the aircraft registration, operator, or specific location were provided in the source material.
