Incident Overview
A pilot and a passenger were conducting a local flight when the pilot decided to examine a grass landing strip situated near El Capitan Lake. The pilot performed several low passes over the strip before executing a touch-and-go landing. Following this, the pilot assessed the surface as suitable for a full-stop landing.
Landing Sequence
During the full-stop landing, the pilot touched down in a three-point attitude and maintained the elevator control in the full aft position. As the aircraft slowed, the main landing gear encountered soft terrain, causing the gear to dig into the ground. The aircraft subsequently nosed over and came to rest inverted.
Reported Details
The pilot reported that the aircraft flipped over just prior to coming to a complete stop. No additional information regarding the aircraft type, registration, engine count, date, time of day, weather, or injuries was provided in the source. The pilot and passenger were the only occupants mentioned.
