Investigator assessment

Analysis narrative

The pilot stated he encountered a wind gust just as he was initiating his landing flare. The aircraft was blown to the right and he did not place the flight controls to correct for this. The aircraft touched down and ran off the right side of the runway. The aircraft then collided with a pond and nosed over coming to rest inverted in the pond.
