Incident Overview
An experimental amateur-built tailwheel airplane experienced a landing incident during a flight at an unspecified airport. The pilot had completed two takeoffs and landings before refueling the aircraft. Following refueling, the pilot flew one additional traffic pattern prior to heading to his home airport.
Sequence of Events
During the flare for landing, the pilot reported that the airplane "seemed as if it was being pushed down." Subsequently, the left wing struck the runway. The airplane then contacted the runway on the right main landing gear, bounced, and the propeller struck the ground. The aircraft exited the right side of the runway and came to a stop.
Damage Assessment
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing spar. No other damage details were provided in the source.
Weather Conditions
The METAR weather observation at the airport around the time of the accident indicated calm wind conditions.
Pilot Report
The pilot stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
