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

NORMAL APPROACH TO LANDING WITH LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS. PILOT DID NOT NOTICE OR FEEL AS THOUGH ANYTHING WAS  ABNORMAL. ON TOUCH DOWN THEY HAD A SLIGHT BOUNCE BUT MAINTAINED CENTERLINE AND CONTINUED THE LANDING. ON TOUCHDOWN THE PILOT HAD SOME SLIGHT SWERVE AND SECONDS LATER THE AIRCRAFT TIPPED OVER. PILOT FELT HE MUST HAVE ACCIDENTALLY ADDED A SMALL AMOUNT OF RIGHT BRAKE TO COUNTER SOME AIRCRAFT DIRECTIONAL SWERVE.
