What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Cessna 206-G on amphib floats went off the pavement on a long landing at L05. The pilot reported that he departed palm springs to pick up a friend at kern valley airport, CA (LO5). No weather reports are generated by the airport. All indications are that VFR conditions prevailed. The turbulence was significant and the pilot recieved a wind report from the UNICOM stating that the winds were from the north at 25 KTS. He made an approach for runway 35 initially but was long and went around. He said he over flew the airport and did not see the wind socks (3). He made an attempt to land on runway 35 again and went around again. It appears that his third attempt was a touchdown at mid field and skidding on the left side of runway 35 until the end and hit a rock at about 5 mph which flipped the airplane end over end. The aircraft was about 40 feet off the end of the runway upside down on two large bolders. No injury to either occupants.
