## Narrative

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

PILOT LANDED AT UNFAMILIAR AIRSTRIP.  THE AIRSTRIP HAD A SHARP SLOPE IN THE DIRECTION OF LANDING (210) WHICH MADE MAINTAINING A SIGHT-PICTURE OF THE LENGTH OF THE RUNWAY DIFFICULT.  A SLIGHT CROSS-WIND IN ADDITION TO DIFFICULTY IN MAINTAINING A CENTER POSITION ON THE RUNWAY CAUSED THE PILOT TO DRIFT TO THE LEFT.  PILOT INITIATED A GO-AROUND , BUT WAS TO FAR LEFT OF THE RUNWAY WHEN THE LEFT GEAR DROPPED OFF THE RUNWAY CAUSING A DEPARTURE FROM THE RUNWAY.  PILOT REDUCED ENGINE POWER WHICH CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO SETTLE INTO THE SOFT GROUND WITH A SUBSEQUENT PITCH-OVER AND IMMEDIATE STOP UPSIDE DOWN.
