Confidence Rating: Accident investigation report completed and information captured
Narrative:
The airplane nosed over subsequent to a loss of directional control while landing. The pilot stated that during the landing a gust of wind from the right resulted in the airplane veering to the left and raising the right wing. The pilot stated he failed to input enough right aileron control for the crosswind. The airplane bounced, the right wing raised and the left wingtip impacted the runway. When the pilot applied brakes, the propeller contacted the runway, and the airplane nosed over. The pilot stated he should have entered a traffic pattern that was more favorable to the wind conditions and he should not have used the brakes once directional control was lost.

Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind and his failure to maintain directional control. The pilot's in-flight selection of the wrong runway and excessive application of brake pressure are contributing factors.
