| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was landing the airplane on a 3,500-ft-long runway and reported that the airplane was 'long and fastâ during the approach. The airplane floated down the runway before eventually touching down. Seeing that the end of the runway was approaching, the pilot applied the brakes. After the nose landing gear touched down, the airplane veered off the runway to the left. As it departed the runway surface, the propeller struck the ground and the airplane nosed over. The airplane's fuselage, left wing, and vertical stabilizer were substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and subsequent noseover.
