Analysis
According to the CFI, when he & his student were on approach for landing on rwy 16R, he received a report of wind shear. The CFI stated that he was instructing his student in the 'wing down' method for x-wind landings & the acft touched-downon its right wheel first. Thereafter, the left wheel & nose wheel touched down. The CFI reported that following this a 'strong wind burst (250 deg. At 10 to 15 KTS.) Hit the acft, veering it sharply to the left.' The CFI reportedly added full power in a recovery attempt, but control was lost as the acft became airborne. To avoid stalling, the CFI stated that he 'nosed the acft over.' The acft collided with a mound of dirt piled beside a drainage ditch between the runways & the acft nosed over.
