What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Pilot states it was a normal approach to runway 8 at N70. Wind was from the right varying from 110-150 degrees at 7 gusting to 14, as per AWOS on field. Aircraft was approximately 2 feet above the runway and dropped to the runway. Aircraft bounced and some power was applied to control the aircraft. Aircraft turned left approximately 10 degrees and departed the runway striking a runway light and continued down the left on the grass. The soft ground on the left side of the runway eventually allowed the nose landing gear to dig in and the aircraft turned over, end over end. Aircraft was being operated under 14 CFR part 91. There were 2 persons on board and no injuries.
