From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) Aircraft landed on private strip 5 miles NE of Marlow, Oklahoma. On landing rollout wind gusts caused aircraft to temporarily become airborne. The aircraft then landed on nosewheel, flipped over, and landed on its back. Minor injuries to pilot. Aircraft sustained substantial damage. (.4)the pilot reported that when the flight departed, the winds were from the northwest. She flew the airplane about 3 miles south to her private residential grass airstrip. Prior to the landing on runway 35, she noted that the windsock was straight out toward the east, and she estimated the winds at 25 to 30 mph from the west. She configured the airplane with full flaps (40 degrees) and landed the airplane toward the north. During the landing roll on the runway, she reached over and selected flaps up and pushed the carburetor heat in; then noticed that the aircraft had become airborne approximately 10 feet AGL, and had turned 30 degrees left. Before she could react, the aircraft hit the ground nose wheel first and came to rest inverted.
