Aircraft: Cessna 180
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Loss of control on ground
Injuries: 1 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal
The pilot in the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, at dusk, he made a wheel landing on a mountain area asphalt runway. He recalled that shortly after a normal touchdown, during the landing roll, the tail lifted, and the nose of the airplane veered to the right. He applied rudder to correct the airplane's heading back to the runway centerline, but the pilot overcorrected, and the airplane exited the left side of the runway. He aborted the landing, and the airplane began to climb, but the left wing struck a "large bush" and the airplane impacted terrain.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings, the empennage, and the elevator.
The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

MORGAN COUNTY, Utah, April 23, 2019 (Gephardt Daily) — An aircraft crashed Tuesday night as it was coming in for a landing at Mountain Green (Morgan) Airport.
The Cessna 180 Skywagon went off the runway, at 5740 N. Cottonwood Canyon Road, at about 8:30 p.m.
Mountain Green Fire Chief Brian Brendel told Gephardt Daily the plane hit a berm and the landing gear collapsed.
Brendel said crews responded quickly, bringing all their fire apparatus to the scene, but “fortunately, the pilot hit the fuel cut-off, so there was no fire.”
An ambulance was initially called to the crash site, but ended up being cancelled.
The pilot was the aircraft’s only occupant. He was able to self-extricate and wasn’t injured.
“The aircraft is on its side and it’s totaled,” Brendel said. “We left it in the hands of the Sheriff’s Office and the FAA to do their investigation.”
According to Flightaware, the aircraft is registered to Utah Cub Pilot LLC.
