## Narrative

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

ON THE LANDING ROLLOUT THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED THROUGH A DIP SLOPING TO THE RIGHT AND SIMULTANEOUSLY A GUST OF WIND FROM THE LEFT PUSHED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE RIGHT. THE RIGHT MAIN WHEEL BEGAN ROLLING THROUGH SOFT TUNDRA. THE RAPID DECELERATION FORCED THE PILOT FORWARD INTO THE RUDDER PEDALS AND INADVERTENTLY APPLIED BRAKES. THE AIRCRAFT NOSE ROTATED DOWNWARD AND AT IDLE THE PROPELLER CONTACTED THE GROUND AND THE AIRCRAFT FULLY NOSED DOWN AND FLIPPED OVER.
