The airport manager discovered the airplane approximately 290 feet from the end of the runway, resting on its nose and nearly upside down. The manager stated that the pilot had head injuries and was conscious when he reached the airplane. The pilot told the manager she was not feeling well.

Site Examination

Post-accident examination of the site revealed three ground marks extending from the end of the runway to the airplane. Examination of the airframe and engine did not reveal any anomalies.
