## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT STATED. ON FINAL HE NOTICED A DUST DEVIL 1/2 TO 3/4 OF THE WAY DOWN THE RUNWAY. AFTER LANDING, ON ROLL OUT, AT APPROXIMATELY 20 KNOTS, THE AIRCRAFT CAUGHT THE DUST DEVIL AT THE FAR END OF THE RUNWAY. THIS CAUSED THE LEFT WING AND TAIL TO COME UP SO THE PILOT TOUCHED THE RIGHT BREAK FOR CONTROL. THE PROP STRUCK THE RUNWAY, THE AIRCRAFT THEN NOSED OVER ON ITS BACK.
