## Narrative

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

(-23) CFR PART 91 VFR APPROACH AND LANDING TO PFC RUNWAY 32 RESULTED IN AIRCRAFT DEPARTING RUNWAY AT FAR END AND FLIPPING OVER. PILOT STATES THAT FAMILIARITY WITH FIELD CAUSED HIM TO INDUCE MANEUVER (GROUND LOOP) TO PRECLUDE STRIKING BARRIER AT ROLLOUT END OF RUNWAY. (.19) ON JULY 14, 1998, A PIPER PA-22-160M AIRPLANE, N9199D, DEPARTED THE RUNWAY SURFACE AND FLIPPED OVER WHILE LANDING AT PACIFIC CITY, OREGON. THE AIRPLANE WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED AND THE PRIVATE PILOT-IN-COMMAND AND ONE PASSENGER WERE NOT INJURED. NO FLIGHT PLAN HAD BEEN FILED FOR THE 14 CFR 91 PERSONAL FLIGHT. PRELIMINARY INFORMATION FROM THE FAA INSPECTOR WHO RESPONDED TO THE ACCIDENT SCENE INDICATED THAT THE PILOT LANDED THREE-QUARTERS OF THE WAY DOWN THE 1,875-FOOT RUNWAY WITH 20 KNOTS OF TAIL WIND. THE AIRCRAFT'S BRAKES WERE CHECKED AT THE ACCIDENT SCENE AND FOUND TO BE FUNCTIONAL.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

Probable cause: The pilot's improper compensation for wind conditions (landing with a tail wind.) Related factors were tail wind conditions, a short runway, and diminished brake system effectiveness.
