| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
At the end of a cross-country flight to an unfamiliar private grass landing strip, the pilot performed a normal landing. The landing strip was soft, and when the pilot lowered the nose wheel to the ground during landing roll, it dug-in, and the aircraft nosed over. The owner's manual did not contain any procedure or information regarding soft field landings.
Probable Cause: failure of the pilot to properly plan the flight and determine the field conditions before landing. The soft runway condition was a related factor.
