NTSB Factual Report

The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, during the landing touchdown, the airplane "veered hard to the right." He attempted to "regain directional control," but was unable, and applied full power to abort the landing. During the aborted landing, the airplane departed the runway surface to the right and nosed over in dirt about 145 ft. from the runway surface.

The right wing sustained substantial damage.

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

The Federal Aviation Administration Aviation Safety Inspector who examined the airplane postaccident, reported that he found no anomalies with the brake system or wheels.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional during the landing.
