| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was attempting to land on an off-airport ridgetop with a 20 knot left crosswind, gusting to 30 knots. The airplane touched down and bounced into the air. The pilot briskly applied full throttle, realized that the engine would not accelerate rapidly from idle, and closed the throttle to land. The airplane drifted off the right side of the strip, and nosed over.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions. A factor was the crosswind.
