DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL FROM THE FROZEN LAKE THE PILOT LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO NOSE OVER ON ITS BACK. THE PILOT STATED DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL THE AIRCRAFT CROSSED A SNOWMACHINE TRACK CAUSING HIM TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT.
DURING THE LANDING ROLL THE PILOT APPLIED BRAKES AND THE TAILWHEEL EQUIPPED AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER. THE RUNWAY SURFACE IS CHARACTERIZED AS HARD/DAMP SAND DUE TO ITS PROXIMITY TO THE OCEAN AND IS PERIODICALLY SUBMERGED DURING HIGH TIDE CONDITIONS.
These match the airframe or engine model. Whether each one applies, and whether it's been complied with, depends on serial numbers, equipment and logbook entries. Applicability must be confirmed by a mechanic against the aircraft's records.
