DURING THE APPROACH HE CRABBED THE AIRPLANE INTO THE WIND, BUT AS HE DESCENDED BELOW THE TREE LINE, JUST BEFORE TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRCRAFT SKIDDED OFF THE RUNWAY AND NOSED OVER.

THE LEFT MAIN GEAR BROKE, DRAGGED ON THE RUNWAY, AND THE AIRCRAFT ROTATED TO THE LEFT, EXITING THE RUNWAY INTO THE GRASS. THE NOSE GEAR THEN BROKE AND DUG INTO THE GRASS, VAULTING THE AIRPLANE ON ITS BACK.
