What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During the interview of the airman, he stated that he was landing on runway 02 with a 17 knots crosswind from right side. He stated that the runway has high crown for draining and he landed just right of the centerline, to adjust for the crosswind. According to airman, the aircraft somehow veered to the right side into drainage ditch. Airman said aircraft had almost came to a complete stop before the nose wheel sank into mud and aircraft tipped over onto back. The airman reported no mechanical irregularities. Aircraft fuselage, tail and left wing suffered substantial damage.
