## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: THE PILOT EXPERIENCED A RIGHT CROSSWIND AND ATTEMPTED TO ALIGN THE AIRCRAFT LONGITUDINALLY OVER THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT APPLIED FORWARD ELEVATOR AND FULL POWER. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN AND VEERED TO THE LEFT. THE AIRCRAFT LEFT THE RUNWAY AND GROUND LOOPED IN A LEFT TURN. IT CAME TO REST ON THE NOSE APPROXIMATELY 180 DEGREES FROM ITS ORIGINAL HEADING. IT SUSTAINED PROPELLER DAMAGE, AND THE PILOT DEPOWERED THE AIRCRAFT AND EXITED. WHILE THE PILOT WAITED FOR ASSISTANCE, A STRONG WIND GUST FLIPPED THE AIRCRAFT ON ITS BACK. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE VERTICAL FIN AND TO TUBULAR STRUCTURE THAT CONNECTS FROM THE ENGINE MOUNT AND THE WING ROOT AS A RESULT OF THE WIND GUST.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
