On May 6, 1995, at 1030 mountain daylight time, a Cessna 190, N1505D, sustained substantial damage during landing roll at Vance Brand Municipal Airport, Longmont, Colorado. The pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for this personal flight and no flight plan was filed.

The wind was reported by the pilot to be a left 90 degree cross wind at 18 knots with gusts to 25 knots. Wind at the nearest reporting facility, 15 miles to the south, was from 190 degrees at 15 knots with gusts to 22 knots. There is no published crosswind limit for this aircraft. The aircraft was within the demonstrated crosswind capability.

According to the pilot, due to the crosswind, he went off the left side of runway 29 during landing roll. He stated that he was able to keep the aircraft rolling parallel to the runway. As he approached the VASI lights at the approach end of runway 10 he applied the brakes firmly to stop before colliding with the lights. Upon brake application, the aircraft nosed over.
