What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On 09/29/2011, at 12:00 CST, aircraft departed jefferson city (jef), Missouri, on an IFR flight plan to Lamar (llu), Missouri. Pilot cancelled IFR flight plan 10 miles from Lamar and proceeded to land on runway 21 at llu. Pilot reported that the wind sock at llu indicated a strong, right crosswind (there is no automated or manned weather observing service at llu). Pilot stated that initial touchdown was 500 feet beyond the runway threshold, at which time the aircraft "bounced," with final touchdown just beyond the half-way point of the 29O2-foot runway. Pilot applied heavy braking and stated that the aircraft felt like he was being"pushed." Aircraft exited the end of the runway at 25-30 knots, onto a grassy surface, before encountering a steep slope downwards at which time the nose of the aircraft impacted the surface, causing the aircraft to go inverted, landing upside down in the adjacent bean field. Pilot and passenger were not injured and egressed out of the aircraft through normal door operation. Aircraft was substantially damaged.
