What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The pilot landed downwind with about a 10 kt tailwind, at a remote off airport site next to the chickaloon river on the north end of the kenai peninsula, Alaska. The tailwind approach caused a higher than normal approach airspeed and ground speed on the ground roll, which resulted in a longer ground roll-out. The aircraft hit a ditch causing it to flip over on its back. No injuries were sustained by the sole occupant, the pilot, but the aircraft sustained substantial damage.
