Analysis
The acft nosed over during the landing roll at a dirt strip near Mexican Hat, UT while on a business trip. According to the pilot the acft hit a bump in the runway which caused it to become airborne. The crosswind caused the acft to settle onto the soft right side of the runway. The nose gear folded and the acft nosed over to an inverted position. There was no fire and no injuries.
