## Narrative

(-23) PILOT WAS DISTRACTED WHILE TRYING TO OPERATE FLAPS. AS HE TURNED FINAL, HE WAS 15 MPH FASTER THAN NORMAL. HE WAS HIGH AND FAST BECAUSE OF EXCESS AIRSPEED. HE LANDED HARD, BOUNCED, AND LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND VEERED LEFT OF THE RUNWAY. HE BROKE THE NOSE WHEEL OFF, AND FLIPPED THE AIRPLANE OVER COMING TO REST IN AN INVERTED POSITION.
