## Narrative

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

DURING THE LANDING ROLLOUT, THE PILOT ALLOWED THE AIRCRAFT TO DEVIATE LATERALLY TO THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY TO THE POINT WHERE THE LEFT HAND WING CAME INTO CONTACT WITH THE ADJACENT CORN FIELD.  THIS CONTACT PULLED THE AIRCRAFT OFF INTO THE FIELD CAUSING THE AIRPLANE TO FLIP OVER ONTO ITS BACK.
