While landing at a 1,000-foot-long remote dirt airstrip, the pilot encountered gusting variable winds. He said that while focusing on compensating for those winds, he failed to slow the airplane sufficiently. After touchdown, the airplane ran off the end of the airstrip, encountered rocks, and nosed over onto its back.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate short-field landing procedure and excessive airspeed that resulted in a landing overrun. Contributing to the accident were gusting unfavorable winds, the short runway, and rocks off the departure end of the strip.
