What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot was executing take offs and landings at the Yerington Municipal Airport in Yerington, Nevada. He hadn't flown the aircraft for over a year, and was practicing for proficiency. During the first landing in which the accident took place, the aircraft had touched down, then became airborne again, followed by a hard landing, possibly causing the main gear attach point to fail. The aircraft began veering right and left. Before a go around could be initiated, the aircraft left the runway, entered the soft dirt, and flipped over. Weather was not a factor, as clear skies and light winds prevailed.
