According to the flight instructor, he was taxing back to the ramp after landing when he was told to hold short on the taxiway due to a micro burst alert. As the airplane was coming to a stop, the winds flipped the airplane over inverted, and it resulted in substantial damage to both wings and the vertical stabilizer. According the ground controller, the surface winds were sustained at 48 knots with gusts as high as 64 knots. The flight instructor reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The inadvertent encounter with a microburst during taxi from landing that resulted in the aircraft being turned over inverted and receiving substantial damage.
