Analysis
At about 1045 MDT, the pilot departed ogden, ut on a solo, cross-country flight to jackpot, NV, pocatello, ID and return. While en route to jackpot, he encountered turbulence and decreasing visibility over a mountainous area and descended from 8500 ft MSL to 8100 ft MSL. At about 1430 MDT, he landed in a plowed field, and during the roll out, the plane nosed over. The accident site was located about 25 miles east-northeast of his intended destination. The pilot reported a problem with unlocking the top door latches after the aircraft came to rest inverted.
