Probable cause
The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions.
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 private pilot attempted to land the conventional gear airplane on a sod airstrip and lost control when he encountered a gusty crosswind condition. The airplane bounced and drifted off the runway. A wing tip struck the ground and the airplane nosed over.
