Operational event involving a Cessna 172M, VH-UGO, Latrobe Valley Aerodrome, Victoria, on 22 December 1996

The pilot reported that after landing on runway 27, he turned off onto the gravel taxiway. As he did so a strong wind gust hit the aircraft from the right rear quarter. The aircraft went over initially onto its left wing and nose where it stayed for a few seconds before being hit by another gust which tipped the aircraft onto its back.

The wind was reported by a local operator to have been from the west-north-west, gusting from 20 to 45 knots.
