Incident Details
During the approach, the pilot was flying faster than normal. The airplane touched down approximately 300 feet after the runway designation marking with very little flare. The touchdown was hard, and the airplane began to porpoise down the runway, which was 20 feet wide.
Sequence of Events
After porpoising, the airplane departed the left side of the runway and collided with a berm. It then continued down a slope and slid approximately 200 feet, with its wings striking several small trees. The airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted, leaving both the pilot and passenger hanging upside down in their restraints.
Witness and Occupant Reports
The passenger, who was also a pilot, reported no pre-impact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane. No other witness statements were included in the source.
