## Narrative

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

(-23) ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, THE WEATHER WAS RAINY BUT GOOD AND THE WINDS WERE CALM.  THE PILOT HAD HEARD OF OTHER PILOTS LANDING AT THE INTENDED AREA AND THAT IT IS A GOOD AREA TO FIND MOOSE.  THE PILOT SAW TRACKS AT THE LANDING AREA.  THE CHOSEN AREA ACCORDING TO THE PILOT WAS GRASSY AND COULD HAVE BEEN AN OLD LAKE.  THERE WERE TRACKS IN THE AREA ON THE END OF A TWENTY FOOT CIRCLE THAT WERE REALLY WET.  THE PILOT ON LANDING STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT WENT THROUGH THE WET SPOT, AND THAT CAUSED THE AIRPLANE TO GO OVER ON ITS BACK.

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.
