The airplane nosed over during a landing roll. The pilot reported that he obtained the local Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) prior to landing. He stated the AWOS reported the winds as being from 150 degrees at 9 knots, and then later as being from 140 degrees at 8 knots. The AWOS was also reporting that runway 12/30 was closed for maintenance so the pilot made his landing approach to runway 22. The pilot reported that after touchdown the airplane weathervaned into the wind and traveled off the left side of the runway. He reported he used right rudder and the brakes to get the airplane back on the runway heading while in the grass. The airplane then ground looped to the right and nosed over. The right brake was found locked up after the accident. The 1305 weather observation taken at SDA showed the winds were from 110 degrees at 8 knots. Skid marks from the right main landing gear were visible on the runway.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind, and the locked brake. A factor associated with the accident was the crosswind.
