According to the pilot of the Nord Stampe SV4C, he made three successful landings at the 1,500-foot-long, 100-foot-wide grass airstrip. During the fourth landing attempt's final approach, the airplane's main landing gear became entangled in the last 20 to 25 feet of a 2-foot-high wheat field. The airplane then nosed over, and came to rest inverted on the runway. Neither the pilot nor the Federal Aviation Administration inspector on scene reported any preimpact mechanical anomalies with the airplane. The pilot also noted that he should not have tried to land so close to the approach end of the runway.
Probable Cause: The pilot's misjudgment of the airplane's altitude during the final approach.
