The 1,100-hour commercial pilot was taxiing to Runway 09 and as he started his left turn to the runway, a gust of wind caused the airplane to veer to the right. The airplane came to rest upright in an adjacent ditch. At the time of the accident, the winds were reported from 160-165 degrees, gusting from 19 to 24 knots, with occasional higher gusts.
