## Narrative

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

ON AUGUST 18 2019 AT 1950 ALASKA LOCAL TIME, N87010 LANDED AT AN AREA 22 MILES SOUTHWEST OF FAIRBANKS ALASKA CALLED WOOD RIVER BUTTE.  THE PILOT WAS ALONE IN THE AIRCRAFT.  AFTER LANDING, THE PILOT BEGAN BRAKING TO SLOWDOWN.  THE LANDING AREA WAS SHORT SO THE PILOT APPLIED TOO MUCH BRAKE AND CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO NOSE OVER AND COMPLETELY FLIP UPSIDE DOWN.  THE PILOT SUSTAINED NO INJURIES.  THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE GROUND AND SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE.  THE UPPER PART OF THE RUDDER WAS CRUSHED AND THE RIGHT WING STRUTS WERE  BENT.  WEATHER WAS NO FACTOR.
