Analysis
The plt was landing on a 3000 ft strip that had been scraped out of the ground by using a 'blade'. During the construction, a 1 1/2 ft berm was left on each side of the strip. While on the landing roll, the plt kept the nose wheeloff the ground with a left quartering tailwind & the acft began drifting right. The plt used left rudder to correct for the drift. However, before he lowered the nosewheel, the main gear hit the berm & the acft nosed over.
