(-23) ON JUNE 25, 2006, ABOUT 0900 PACIFIC DAYLIGHT TIME A MAULE M-7-235C, N209Z, VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY AND NOSED OVER DURING LANDING AT BRACKETT FIELD, LAVERNE, CALIFORNIA.

THE LOCAL PERSONAL FLIGHT DEPARTED BRACKETT FIELD ABOUT 0854. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED, AND NO FLIGHT PLAN HAD BEEN FILED. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT AFTER TOUCHDOWN ON THE RUNWAY, HE LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE. HE STATED (PER NTSB REPORT) "I WAS NOT SUCCEEDING IN CONTROLLING IT, SO I LET IT RUN OFF OF THE RUNWAY AND IT FLIPPED OVER AFTER THE PROP STRUCK THE GROUND." THE PILOT STATED THAT THE AIRPLANE AND ENGINE HAD NO MECHANICAL FAILURES THAT WOULD HAVE PRECLUDED NORMAL OPERATION.
