## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON RUNWAY 30 (TURF RUNWAY) AND EXITED THE RUNWAY ON AN APPROXIMATE HEADING OF 45 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT OF THE RUNWAY HEADING, 2200 FEET FROM THE APPROACH END AND 143 FEET FROM THE DEPARTURE END.

THE WIND AT THE TIME, AS REPORTED BY AWOS, WAS 230 DEGREES AT 11 KNOTS. THE AIRPORT IS SITUATED ON A HILL WITH THE TERRAIN GRADUALLY SLOPING TO THE EAST WITH A SHARPER SLOPE TO THE WEST. THE RUNWAY WAS SHORT GRASS (SEASONAL DORMANT) AND THE GROUND WAS FROZEN.

THE PILOT STATED HE TOUCHED DOWN PAST HIS INTENDED LANDING POINT AND THEN INTENTIONALLY STEERED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY TO ALLOW THE HIGHER VEGITATION TO SLOW THE AIRCRAFT. THE AIRCRAFT THEN STRUCK A BERM, HIDDEN BY THE TALLER VEGETATION WHICH CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO ELEVATE AND THE NOSE GEAR FORK TO BREAK OFF.  THE AIRCRAFT FLIPPED OVER AND CAME TO REST IN AN INVERTED POSITION.  THE CREW AND PASSENGERS EXITED THROUGH A DOOR WINDOW.

THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PILOT OR PASSENGERS.
