What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
PIC planned to make 4 trips hauling game meat and friends in and out of the landing strip on the day of the accident. On the second flight, coming in for landing the aircraft touched down with no problems, about 200 feet after touchdown the aircraft went over some rough terrain and rocks. The tail wheel hit the last bump square on
Causing the tail to pitch up approximately 90 degrees before the PIC could apply power to settle the tail back down, causing the prop to strike the ground and the aircraft to flip over onto its back causing substantial damage to the fuselage, wings and empennage. The PIC was able to climb out of the aircraft uninjured. The PIC arranged to have the aircraft lifted out of the accident site by helicopter.
