What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On March 5, 2022, about 1105 eastern standard time, an RV-6, N29XL, was substantially damaged upon landing rollout when the right main wheel contacted the snowbank on the edge of the runway. Upon contact with the snowbank the aircraft was pulled from the runway where it flipped onto its canopy and striking the propeller on the ground during the flip. Pilot and passenger were uninjured. Pilot stated weather briefing reported 15 knot crosswind but gusts were in excess of this upon touchdown and rollout forcing the aircraft off the side of the runway and into the snowbank.
