## Narrative

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

THE PILOT WAS ATTEMPTING TO LAND AT A REMOTE AIRSTRIP WHICH HAD BEEN SOAKED BY RECENT RAIN AND WAS FLOODED. DURING THE LANDING ROLL OUT THE AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED AN EXCESSIVELY SOFT, AND FLOODED LANDING SURFACE, WHICH RESULTED IN THE AIRCRAFT NOSING OVER UPSIDE DOWN.

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.
