## Narrative

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

THE PERSONAL FLIGHT, WITH THE OWNER AS THE SOLE OCCUPANT ONBOARD, WAS LANDING AT THE KINSLEY AIRPORT IN KINSLEY, KANSAS AIRPORT (33K) ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2017 AT APPROXIMATELY 1039 CDT WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THE AIRCRAFT WAS SEEN BY NUMEROUS WITNESSES DEPARTING THE END OF THE RUNWAY, WHEN THE NOSE GEAR BROKE AND FLIPPED OVER ONTO ITS TOP.

WITNESSES REPORTED THE AIRPLANE COMING IN ?FAST? AND DOWNWIND. THEY ALSO REPORTED THE PILOT ?FORCED? THE AIRPLANE ONTO THE RUNWAY AND USED HEAVY BRAKING UNTIL IT LEFT THE RUNWAY AT ABOUT 50-60 MILES PER HOUR. THE PILOT WAS SHAKEN UP, BUT UNINJURED. HIS EXIT FROM THE AIRPLANE WAS ASSISTED BY THE WITNESSES, WHO ALSO TURNED OFF THE FUEL AND THE MASTER SWITCH.

IT WAS DAY VFR CONDITIONS AT THE TIME. RUNWAY CONDITIONS WERE DRY.

THE PILOT REPORTED HAVING DIFFICULTIES WITH IDLE SPEED WITH THE AIRPLANE COMING OUT OF MAINTENANCE, STATING THE ENGINE?S IDLE WAS TOO HIGH AND THE AIRPLANE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. HE DID NOT HAVE ANY DIFFICULTIES WITH THE BRAKES OR ANY OTHER SYSTEMS.

THE AIRPLANE LANDED ON RUNWAY 36. THE WINDS AT THE NEAREST AWOS (KDDC) WERE 1452Z 170 AT 7 AND AT 1552Z 140 AT 6. RUNWAY 18 WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PREFERRED RUNWAY FOR THE WINDS.
