What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On October 23, 2010, at approximately 1730, a pilot operating an experimental amateur built Glastar N2814D attempted to land on heading 200 at a grass airstrip (7TA7) in Reklaw, Texas. The aircraft bounced on initial contact and landed hard upon second contact. The nose wheel collapsed, the propeller struck the ground, and the aircraft nosed over on its back. The aircraft received substantial damage and the pilot suffered a minor injury to his head. The pilot stated the weather and mechanical failures were not a factor and the accident resulted from an ill-advised landing on a less than optimum airstrip and not using proper technique of completing landing successfully
