What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Pilot had radio failure. Overflew runway, got green light. Wind favored rwy 31 (nw) at lake Hood strip. Landing was made into the sun, pilot temporarily blinded, drifted off to edge of runway and soft spot caused aircraft to tip up on its nose. I encouraged him to obtain some recurrent flight training with an instructor. Pilot has no accident, incident, violations in background.
