## Narrative

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

WHILE LANDING AT THE COMPANY'S PRIVATE AG STRIP (3XS1) FOR THE THIRD TIME THAT DAY, THE PILOT STATED THAT HE LANDED SLIGHTLY LEFT OF CENTER ON THE GRASS RUNWAY #32. DURING THE ROLL OUT, THE LEFT WING SPRAY BOOM CONTACTED THE UN-MOWED TALL GRASS. THE AIRCRAFT WAS PULLED TO THE LEFT AND INTO A SMALL DRAINAGE DITCH. THE AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER AND THE PROPELLER MADE CONTACT WITH THE GROUND. NO INJURIES TO THE PILOT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
