Accident Details
The pilot of a tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that during a landing attempt, the aircraft bounced after the main landing gear made contact with the runway. The pilot had been performing a three-point landing, during which the tailwheel touched down first. As the main landing gear touched down, the airplane bounced. The pilot applied additional back pressure on the yoke, and as the airplane settled onto the main landing gear, it veered to the left. Despite applying right rudder and braking, the pilot could not correct the deviation. Subsequently, the right wingtip struck the ground, and the airplane nosed over.
Damage Assessment
The accident resulted in substantial damage to the left wing, the right-wing lift strut, and the empennage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Environmental Conditions
At the time of the accident, the automated weather observation system at the airport reported wind from 010° at 6 knots. The pilot was landing on runway 9.
