What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
According to the pilot, it was his second flight of the day and the purpose was to check out a radio. He landed runway 5 at Galion airport and the airplane swerved a little bit which he corrected with braking. When slowing to make the turn to clear the runway he said he braked too hard and the airplane tail went up and in slow motion the airplane flipped over onto its back.
The aircraft sustained damage to the top of the vertical stabilizer, broken windshield, propeller bent (q-tipped) and nose cone dented. Right-hand side wing spar bent.
