## Narrative

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

PILOT REPORTS: MADE WHAT SEEMED TO BE AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING. AS THE PLANE WAS ROLLING OUT IT STARTED TO THE LEFT. I APPLIED RIGHT RUDDER AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW I AM UPSIDE DOWN. ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT I INADVERTENTLY HIT THE BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME.
