## Narrative

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

AIRPLANE WAS LANDING WITH A SLIGHT, VARIABLE, RIGHT CROSSWIND, BOUNCED TWICE THEN SETTLED DOWN ON MAIN WHEELS.  WITH TAILWHEEL STILL OFF GROUND, IT DRIFTED OFF OF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY INTO THE GRASS BETWEEN THE RUNWAY AND PARALLEL TAXIWAY.  PILOT SAW AIRCRAFT AHEAD OF HIM ON TAXIWAY AND BRAKED ABRUPTLY CAUSING AIRPLANE TO FLIP TAIL OVER NOSE.
