Analysis

The pilot elected to land on a 1600 ft grass strip with a crosswind of about 5 KTS. He reported that he crossed the fence at about 60 KTS with 15 deg of flaps, then touched down about 400 ft down the runway. During the landing roll, he saw he would be unable to stop on the dry grass runway and deviated to the right into soft dirt. Subsequently, the aircraft went up on its nose, then fell back down on the gear.
