## Narrative

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

PILOT DECIDED TO LAND ON TURF RUNWAY BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT RUNWAY WAS TO ICY. TURF RUNWAY WAS NOT COMPLETELY SOLID AND NOSE WHEEL STUCK INTO GROUND APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS AFTER TOUCHING DOWN. THE PLANE FLIPPED OVER, LANDING ON ITS BACK. THE PILOT AND PASSENGER EXITED THE AIRCRAFT WITHOUT INJURY.
