## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT STATED THAT JUST AFTER TOUCH DOWN A GUST OF WIND BLEW ACROSS THE RUNWAY FROM THE RIGHT AND LIFTED HIS RIGHT HAND WING CAUSING HIM TO DEPART THE RUNWAY, THROUGH SOME GRASS, OVER A TAXIWAY AND INTO A DITCH WHERE THE AIRCRAFT LOST ITS NOSE WHEEL, TUMBLED FORWARD OVER THE NOSE, CAUSING THE PROPELLER TO STRIKE THE GROUND AND THE ENGINE TO BE SUDDENLY STOPPED. THE LEFT WINGTIP STRUCK THE GROUND BENDING THE LEFT HAND WING STRUT. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST UPSIDE DOWN STRIKING THE VERTICAL STABILIZER ON THE GROUND, BREAKING OFF THE ANTI-COLLISION STROBE LIGHT WITH NO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO EITHER THE RUDDER OR VERTICAL STABILIZER.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
