What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot reported having issues with static from the radio in the left seat, so she decided to fly from the right seat instead. On final approach she noticed that the airspeed was only 60 mph, which felt a little slow to the pilot. She added power with her left hand, and didn’t notice that as she did that, her right hand pushed forward on the yoke pushing the nose down. To counteract the last impute, the pilot pulled back on the yoke a little to hard, and she was worried that she was about to stall, so she pushed the nose down again, at this point there was no recovering, which lead to the hard landing resulting in the aircraft flipping over.
