What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Based on the findings at the scene of the accident. It appears the pilot privacy data omitted lost directional control of the aircraft landing when he attempted to land when he was too high and too fast. From the on scene investigation which is substantiated by eye witness accounts, the pilot privacy data omitted landed long and fast after making several shallow "s" turns and slips. He then (upon seeing the end of the runway coming up), over applied the brakes causing the aircraft to flip over on its nose.
