| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot had flown to the accident airport in formation with 4 other aircraft which had landed uneventfully on runway 23 with a reported tailwind of 4 knots. He did not look at the windsock before landing and after touchdown, during the landing roll with the elevator control stick full aft, he applied the brakes and the airplane nosed over. A weather observation taken from an airport 21 nautical miles away revealed that the wind was from 060 degrees at 10 knots. He further stated that he was complacent and he thought the landing was over.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to note the windsock before touchdown which resulted in a downwind landing, and the pilot's improper elevator control. Factors were the tailwind and the pilot's complacency.
