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

A PREFLIGHT WAS COMPLETED ON ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ ON THE DATE OF THE FLIGHT.  MAGNETO CHECKS WERE COMPLETED AT NORTH TEXAS REGIONAL (52F) AND MINERAL WELLS AIRPORTS WITH NO INDICATION OF BRAKE FUNCTION DEGRADATION.  MAKING THE SECOND LANDING OF THE DAY AT 52F THE PIC LANDED 100-150 FEET PAST THE ARRIVAL END OF RUNWAY 17.   PIC APPLIED BREAKS TO SLOW AND STOP WITH NO RESPONSE.

THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR STRUCK A HOLE IN THE GRASS CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO STOP ABRUPTLY AND ROLL OVER ON ITS TOP CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE.  NO INJURIES TO PIC OR PASSENGER.
