What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The airman made two low recons over the landing area prior to landing to assess conditions and used his GPS to determine the wind direction and velocity. He made the final approach into a light headwind over a downsloping hill. His left landing gear and belly pod made contact with a stump obscured by high grass, causing a sudden stoppage and flipping the aircraft onto it's back. The airman was able to get out, right the aircraft, and summon assistance by cell phone. The airman sustained only minor injuries. The aircraft sustained substantial damage.
