## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS BACK TAXIING FOR DEPARTURE ON RUNWAY O1 AT 51J, LAKE CITY, SC.  HE STATED HE WAS DISTRACTED AND LET THE AIRCRAFT GAIN SPEED.  HE STATED HE COULD NOT SEE DIRECTLY OVER THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT DUE TO ITS CONVENTIONAL GEAR DESIGN.  THEN, WHEN HE REALIZED HE WAS CLOSE TO THE RUNWAY END HE APPLIED THE BRAKES TO AVOID RUNNING OFF THE RUNWAY.  THE AIRCRAFT FLIPPED ALONG THE LONGITUDNAL AXIS AND CAME TO REST UPSIDE DOWN AND FACEING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THAT IT WAS DURING THE TAXI.
