Accident Summary
A tailwheel-equipped airplane sustained substantial damage to its wings and wing lift struts when it nosed over during the landing roll at a remote off-airport site. The pilot, who was the sole occupant, reported no preaccident mechanical anomalies with the airplane.
Landing Conditions
The pilot was landing at a remote off-airport site with a quartering tailwind of 4 to 5 knots, requiring a correction for the wind condition.
Sequence of Events
During the landing roll, the airplane veered slightly to the left. The pilot applied right rudder to correct the veer. As he depressed the right rudder pedal, the airplane abruptly nosed over. The pilot reported that he suspects he inadvertently depressed the right brake pedal when he applied right rudder, which may have caused the nose-over.
Aircraft Damage
The nose-over resulted in substantial damage to the wings and wing lift struts.
Pilot's Observation
The pilot noted that there were no preaccident mechanical anomalies with the airplane, indicating that the event was not due to a mechanical failure.
