## Narrative

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

BEFORE LANDING THE PILOT OVERFLEW THE RUNWAY TO CHECK THE CONDITIONS. THE PILOT HAS LANDED ON THIS RUNWAY UNDER SIMILAIR CONDITIONS SEVERAL TIMES. HAVING DETERMINED THAT THE RUNWAY CONDITIONS WERE ACCEPTABLE, THE PILOT SET UP FOR A NORMAL LANDING ON THE SNOW COVERED TURF AIRSTRIP. THE PILOT TOUCHED DOWN, THE AIRCRAFT SUNK INTO THE SNOW, ROLLED ABOUT 40 FT AND FLIPPED ONTO ITS BACK. WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND WIND WAS ABOUT 3 KNOTS.
