## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-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.
