Accident Details
A tailwheel airplane, equipped with tundra tires, was landing at a remote airstrip. The pilot reported encountering light windshear on short final. The airplane subsequently touched down harder than expected and bounced.
Sequence of Events
In an effort to recover from the bounce, the pilot applied forward elevator control. After the main wheels were firmly on the ground, he applied aft elevator control and brake pressure. This sequence of inputs resulted in the airplane nosing over.
Damage
The accident caused substantial damage to the rudder, vertical stabilizer, wings, and right lift strut.
Mechanical Status
The pilot stated that there were no preaccident mechanical anomalies or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
