(-23) ON AUGUST 28, 2001 AT 1140 LOCAL DAVID TUCK LOST CONTROL OF A PT-17 (STEARMAN) DURING LANDING AT SANDERSON FIELD. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST ON ITS BACK. THE WEATHER AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT WAS VFR WITH CALM WINDS. MR. TUCK MADE AND APPROACH NOT TO RUNWAY 23 BUT TO THE GRASS JUST RIGHT OF THE RUNWAY. THIS AREA IS NOT A CERTIFIED AS A GRASS LANDING STRIP NOR IS IT MAINTAINED AS ONE. MR. TUCK STATED HE EXECUTED A THREE POINT LANDING AT ABOUT 55 MPH. AFTER A SHORT LANDING ROLL, THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO DRIFT RIGHT. MR. TUCK APPLIED LEFT RUDDER WITH NO EFFECT. BECAUSE HE FELT THE AIRCRAFT WAS GOING TO GROUND LOOP, HE THEN APPLIED FULL LEFT RUDDER AND LEFT BRAKE WHICH REDUCED THE RIGHT DRIFT SOMEWHAT WHEN THE AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER AND FLIPPED ON ITS BACK.

## NTSB investigation

None matched to this report by aircraft and date. Search the NTSB's own records: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/basic-search

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
