Incident Overview
A pilot reported that while performing a three-point full stall landing in a tailwheel-equipped airplane, the aircraft encountered a right-quartering headwind of approximately 10 to 15 knots. During the landing rollout, an unanticipated wind gust lifted the right wing, causing the airplane to veer about 30° to the right. The pilot attempted to correct the deviation, but the airplane exited the right side of the runway and contacted a snowbank.
Sequence of Events
Upon contact with the snowbank, the airplane decelerated rapidly and subsequently nosed over. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Damage Assessment
The accident resulted in substantial damage to the left wing and wing strut. No other damage details were provided.
Additional Information
The pilot did not report any injuries. The accident occurred during daylight hours, though the specific time was not recorded. The pilot had not reported any issue with the airplane's controls or systems prior to the event.
