## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER, COMING TO REST INVERTED, AFTER THE MAIN WHEELS SUNK INTO SOFT DIRT AT THE EDGE OF THE RUNWAY.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO EITHER OF THE MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL ON BOARD.

THE FORWARD LEFT WING STRUT WAS BENT, ONE PROPELLER BLADE WAS BENT, AND THE TAIL NAVIGATION LIGHT WAS DAMAGED. THE UPPER FORWARD PORTION OF THE TOP WING IS DIRTIED AND SCRATCHED, WITH SOME WRINKLES IN THE FINISH, BUT NO MAJOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE NOTED BY MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL.

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.
