What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Wind at the time was 280@5 to 15 kt. Pilot stated he approached runway 25 and crossed the threshold at 75 KIAS which resulted in a touchdown at approximately the 2000 foot point on a 4200 foot long runway. At this point the runway begins to slope down. The pilot noticed the wind sock as indicating calm winds at this time. This made him decide to continue the rollout rather than attempt a go around. He then realized that he was at approximately 700 feet remaining position and applied heavy braking. He estimated a potential runway overrun and attempted a 180 degree left turn onto the taxiway. Since the speed was still fairly high he went over the embankment and flipped the aircraft over on its back. There was no fire or fuel spill. He and his passenger exited the aircraft through the broken canopy.
As the FAA filed it
WIND AT THE TIME WAS 280@5 TO 15 KT. PILOT STATED HE APPROACHED RUNWAY 25 AND CROSSED THE THRESHOLD AT 75 KIAS WHICH RESULTED IN A TOUCHDOWN AT APPROXIMATELY THE 2000 FOOT POINT ON A 4200 FOOT LONG RUNWAY. AT THIS POINT THE RUNWAY BEGINS TO SLOPE DOWN. THE PILOT NOTICED THE WIND SOCK AS INDICATING CALM WINDS AT THIS TIME. THIS MADE HIM DECIDE TO CONTINUE THE ROLLOUT RATHER THAN ATTEMPT A GO AROUND. HE THEN REALIZED THAT HE WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 700 FEET REMAINING POSITION AND APPLIED HEAVY BRAKING. HE ESTIMATED A POTENTIAL RUNWAY OVERRUN AND ATTEMPTED A 180 DEGREE LEFT TURN ONTO THE TAXIWAY. SINCE THE SPEED WAS STILL FAIRLY HIGH HE WENT OVER THE EMBANKMENT AND FLIPPED THE AIRCRAFT OVER ON ITS BACK. THERE WAS NO FIRE OR FUEL SPILL.
