What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot in command stated he had received the weather at the time of the accident via the asos/awos at the Person County Airport. The Person County Airport ASOS was reporting the winds from 300 degrees at 5 to 7 knots. The pilot landed on runway 6.
Aircraft N3115B, operated by its owner, landed at Person County Airport, Roxboro, NC at approximately 20:00 EDT on may 12, 2013. The pilot lost control of the aircraft while turning off the runway onto a taxiway. During that turn, the aircraft nosed over and came to a stop with the nose still resting on the ground. The pilot, uninjured, exited the aircraft, and with help from a non-passenger, pulled the tail of the aircraft down so it was upright and resting on its landing gear. The aircraft was then towed off the taxiway and to its hangar.
