The NTSB's narrative final · quoted from the NTSB record
The pilot reported that after landing with an 8 mile-per-hour crosswind, his left foot became lodged under a rudder pedal. The airplane drifted off the runway pavement; he was unable to correct because of the soft turf condition. The nose landing gear subsequently dug into the ground and the airplane nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage, left wing, and vertical stabilizer. The pilot reported that there were no failures or malfunctions with the airplane prior to the accident.

About this page
Everything above comes from the NTSB's public accident database: the narrative, probable cause and findings are the NTSB's own words, and the coded tables behind its report (pilot, aircraft, flight, weather, injuries, sequence of events) are written out in plain English. Pilots' ages, home towns and medical details are left out on purpose. The documents and photographs are the NTSB's docket, the folder of records gathered during the investigation, shown as the NTSB released them (the NTSB redacts some personal details first) and listed under the NTSB's own titles. This site's own text never names pilots, passengers or anyone else involved. A preliminary report describes what is known soon after the event and can change; the final report, with the probable cause, usually follows one to two years later and this page is refreshed when it does. Case number CEN14CA040.
