Incident Overview
A pilot of a tailwheel-equipped airplane reported a landing incident where crosswind conditions affected the aircraft's stability. During the landing rollout, the crosswind lifted the left wing, causing the airplane to drift to the right. As the right main landing gear moved off the runway surface and onto the adjacent grass, the airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted.
Aircraft Damage
The accident resulted in substantial damage to the airplane. Specifically, the left wing lift strut, right aileron, and empennage sustained damage. The pilot stated that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions that would have prevented normal operation.
Weather Conditions
According to the automated weather observation station located at the airport, approximately eight minutes after the accident, the wind was recorded from 150 degrees at 10 knots with gusts to 16 knots. The airplane had been landing on runway 19.
