## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED THAT AFTER LANDING THE AIRCRAFT HE PERFORMED AN 180 DEGREE TURN. THE TURN WAS ATTEMPTED AT AN INTERSECTION OF THE RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY. HE DETERMINED THAT THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR WOULD HAVE TO ROLL THROUGH THE GRASS TO COMPLETE THE TURN. THE PILOT LOOKED FOR ANY OBSTRUCTIONS AND CONTINUED THE TURN SLOWLY. WHILE TURNING THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR SUNK INTO A DEEP HOLE AND THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP.
