A witness said the winds were calm when the pilot departed. Approximately 45 minutes later, he saw the airplane return and make a low pass and land on runway 17. He estimated the wind to be 15 knots, gusting to 22 knots. He saw the airplane bounce 3 times, then "wing over" into the grass and nose over. The pilot attributed the accident to his lack of "situational awareness," and a downwind takeoff and landing.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper flare, which resulted in a bounced landing and noseover during a downwind landing.
