What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot was looking for a spot to land near a camp for future alternate landing sites. The company provides flights to this camp and needed other landing sites due to frequent crosswinds. He performed one landing where he dragged the skis to check the snow depth and condition where he found it to be good. On the second attempt he wanted to perform a touch and go with the full aircraft weight on the skis. During the rollout after touch down the aircraft flipped over. After the accident the pilot walked the ski tracks and found a grass spot under his ski marks which he thinks may have contributed to the accident. Ptrs: AL01201201134
