## Narrative

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

AFTER COMPLETING 5 PATTERNS, PRACTICING CROSSWIND TECHNIQUES, CRABBING AND CROSS CONTROLLING, WE DECIDE TO MAKE A FULL STOP.

IT WAS A NORMAL PATTERN, FLARE AND TOUCHDOWN IN A THREE POINT ATTITUDE. WE HAD A 5-7 KNOTS, 30 DEGREES, CROSSWIND FROM THE LEFT.

AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE PLANE VEERED LEFT. I STEPPED ON THE RIGHT RUDDER TO CORRECT BUT THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO VEER LEFT RAPIDLY. I THEN PRESSED THE RIGHT BRAKE WHILE PULLING ALL THE WAY AFT ON THE ELEVATOR (WHICH WAS ALREADY AFT).

THE TAIL LIFTED UP SLOWLY, ON IT’S NOSE, AND FLIPPED ON IT’S BACK.

WE PERFORMED THE SHUT DOWN CHECKLIST AND EVACUATION.
