## Narrative

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

THE PILOT HAD BEEN FLYING FLOATS ALL SUMMER AND RECENTLY INSTALLED 26" TIRES WITH A NEW DOUBLE PUCK BRAKE SYSTEM. WHILE LANDING ON A 1000' LONG RUNWAY THE PILOT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE DOUBLE PUCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS MORE AFFECTIVE THAN HE HAD ANTICIPATED. THE AIRCRAFT SLOWLY NOSED OVER TO AN INVERTED POSITION. THIS 8020-23 IS BEING CLOSED WHILE FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THE AIRWORTHINESS OF THE AIRCRAFT IS CONDUCTED.
