The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Acft flipped over on landing. (.19)on August 24, 1998, at 1030 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 150, N704HU, nosed over, according to the operator, after the airplane collided with a culvert during a landing at the athens/ben epps airport in athens, Georgia. The instructional flight was operated by the student pilot under the provisions of title 14 CFR part 91 and visual flight rules. There was no flight plan filed. A review of weather data disclosed that visual meteorological conditions existed at the time of the accident. The solo student pilot was not injured. The operator also reported that the airplane sustained substantial airframe damage. According to the operator, the flight originated from athens, Georgia, at 0955. The student pilot had completed several touch and go landings on runway 27, and was in the process of making a full stop landing when the accident occurred. Reportly, the student pilot said that as he retracted the wing flaps, during landing roll out, the airplane veered off the side of the runway. Examination of the accident site disclosed that the airplane collided with a culvert adjacent to the edge of runway 27. No mechanical problems with the air plane were reported by the student pilot. (-23) on Monday 082498 I had taken off from athens airport in a Cessna 150 N704HU to do touch and gos. I had landed and taken off twice and told the tower that this time down would be a full stop. As I touched down I applied brakes to slow the plane down. I then pushed carburator heat in and pulled the flap lever to up position. I glanced out of plane to see if I was slowing down fast enough when the plane became airborne again and went to the left toward edge of runway. I realized I was leaving runway and cut fuel and master switch to off position. I was attempting to stop plane when it struck a drainage duct and flipped over on its wings.
