## Narrative

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

UPON LANDING ROLLOUT ON PRIVATE GRASS RUNWAY, THE PILOT LOST CONTROL OF AIRCRAFT AND VEERED LEFT STRIKING CORN ON LEFT SIDE OF RUNWAY. THIS CAUSED THE AIRPLANE TO ROTATE COUNTERCLOCKWISE.

THE TAIL SKID STRUCK THE GROUND, RESULTING IN SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE COMPOSITE TAIL BOOM. RUDDER AND RIGHT BRAKING IMPUTS WERE USED BY PILOT, HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT EFFECTIVE.
