## Narrative

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

(-23) SUBSEQUENT TO AN OTHERWISE NORMAL APPROACH, THE AIRMAN CONDUCTED A NORMAL LANDING, AND UPON INITIAL TOUCHDOWN, BEGAN APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES. THE AIRCRAFT SKIPPED BRIEFLY FROM A SMALL RISE IN THE RUNWAY, AND UPON SUBSEQUENT TOUCHDOWN, THE BRAKES HAVING ALREADY BEEN APPLIED, LOCKED THE WHEELS SUCH THAT THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A HARD STOP, NOSING OVER BEFORE THE AIRMAN COULD AVERT IT. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST INVERTED, SUSTAINING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. THERE WAS NO POST ACCIDENT FIRE, AND THE PILOT AND PASSENGER EXITED THE AIRCRAFT WITHOUT INJURY.
