Probable cause
The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions. The gusty crosswind was a related factor.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot stated that he was landing on runway 23 with winds from 260 to 300 degrees at 10 gusting 20 knots. He reported that shortly after the aircraft touched down, a gust of wind lifted the right wing, causing the left wing to impact the runway. The aircraft veered off the left side of the runway and nosed over in the grass.
