| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was on his first solo flight after receiving his tailwheel/conventional endorsement earlier on the same day. During the landing roll, he allowed his experimental biplane to move toward the right side of the runway, where its right main gear encountered standing water. The aircraft was pulled further to the right by the resistance of the right main tire passing through the water, and the aircraft ultimately exited the right side of the runway. After departing the runway, the aircraft entered an area of soft terrain, resulting in a nose-over.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane. Related factors include: an area of standing water on a portion of the runway, and soft terrain just off the edge of the runway.
