What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Airman had landed in this area approximately 10 times as PIC. He has been in the area many times with friends as a passenger. He is a new licensed pilot and did not have the experience to fall back on in this situation and flipped the aircraft. We talked for some time about off airport operations and being an attorney, he realizes he needs and will get some more instruction and experience before flying when his aircraft is repaired.
