## Probable cause

THE PILOT'S INADEQUATE COMPENSATION FOR WIND CONDITIONS.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Nose over, landing - roll
  - compensation for wind conditions - inadequate, pilot in command (cause)

## Analysis

THE PILOT STATED THAT DURING THE LANDING ROLL A GUST OF WIND LIFTED THE TAIL AND THE AIRPLANE NOSED OVER. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE MAY HAVE USED BRAKES AND OVER CORRECTED.

## Factual narrative

On June 7, 1993, at approximately 1200 central daylight time, a Grumman G-164A, N6622Q, was substantially damaged when it nosed over during the landing roll at a private airstrip near Dumas, Arkansas.  The commercial pilot was not injured.  Visual meteorological conditions prevailed throughout the area for the local aerial application flight.

The pilot stated that a gust of wind lifted the tail on the landing roll and caused the airplane to flip over on its back.  He further stated that he may have applied brakes and over corrected during the roll out.

## FAA reports on this event (1)

The FAA's own accident and incident reports, matched to the aircraft by N-number and date (OpenAirDocs).

- [Accident 19930607017169A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19930607017169A), Jun 7, 1993: Scwzer G164A, Dumas, AR, Substantial damage. During landing roll wind gust lifted tail. Aircraft nosed over. Over use of brakes a factor.

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
