| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was practicing take-offs and landings and described that during the landing flare, a gust of wind pushed the airplane toward the left side of the runway. The airplane's left main wheel then encountered snow on the side of the runway that pulled the airplane to the left. When the airplane's nose wheel hit the snow, the airplane nosed over. The vertical stabilizer and both wings of the airplane were substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's loss of directional control while landing, which resulted in an encounter with snow and subsequent nose over.
