| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was landing on a property strip in gusty crosswind conditions. Directional control was lost during the landing roll and the pilot was unable to prevent the aircraft from running off the side of the strip. As he attempted to taxi the aircraft back onto the strip the nose wheel entered an area of soft sand and subsequently collapsed. The particular strip in use was only 20 metres wide, and consequently did not meet the requirements for an Authorised Landing Area. The strength of the crosswind component could not be determined.
