Factual narrative

WHILE LANDING WITH A X-WIND AT 10 GUSTING 20 KTS, THE ACFT ENCOUNTERED A GUST & FLOATED ALMOST HALF WAY DOWN THE 1800 FT SOD STRIP. IT BECAME APPARENT TO THE PLT THAT BRAKING ALONE MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO STOP. HE ELECTED NOT TO GO-AROUND SINCE THERE WERE POWER LINES & ELEVATED TERRAIN NEAR THE NORTH END OF THE RWY. THE PLT ELECTED TO PURPOSELY TURN OFF THE RWY & ROLL TOWARD RISING TERRAIN. THOUGH THE TERRAIN LOOKED FIRM, IT WAS SOFT (THERE HAD BEEN A RECENT RAIN). AFTER LEAVING THE RWY, THE NOSEWHEEL DUG INTO THE SOFT TERRAIN & THE ACFT NOSED OVER. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
