Analysis

The pilot landed on a wet runway that sloped slightly downhill. He stated that the aircraft touched down about 800 feet down the runway in winds that were from the west at 1 to 3 mph. The brakes were ineffective on the wet turf. Subsequently, the aircraft went off the runway and became inverted.
