| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot lost control of the airplane during the landing roll. During the landing roll a gust of wind lifted the right wing and empennage into the air and, consequently, the nose dragged along the runway surface approximately 30 feet. The airplane exited the departure end of the runway, flipped over and came to rest in the inverted position. Thirty minutes after the accident occurred a weather observation facility, located 25 miles northwest of the accident site, reported that the winds were from 230 degrees at 25 knots, gusting to 30 knots.
Probable Cause: The failure of the pilot-in-command to maintain control of the airplane during the landing roll. A factor was the gusty wind conditions.
