While practicing touch-and-go landings the aircraft experienced a loss of directional control and departed the runway, coming to rest inverted. Examination of the accident site revealed that on the last landing, the airplane had touched down 1,123 feet down the runway to the left of centerline, veered of the left side of the runway into a wheat field, and then nosed over, 390 feet from the touchdown point, approximately 41 feet east of the centerline of the runway.
The airplane sustained substantial damage and the sole pilot onboard received fatal injuries.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
The pilot's decision to land with a quartering tailwind and his failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll. Contributing to the severity of the pilot's injuries was the failure of the aluminum center safety belt bracket.
