The NTSB's narrative final · quoted from the NTSB record
The pilot executed a 'three point landing' on runway 35. During the landing roll, the tailwheel-equipped airplane's right main landing gear departed the right side of the runway. The airplane pulled to the right as the 'wheel bogged down' into the mud. The pilot was unable to bring the right main landing gear back on the runway with the use of left rudder and left brake. As the airplane decelerated, it nosed over and came to rest inverted.

About this page
Everything above comes from the NTSB's public accident database and is rewritten in plain English only where the NTSB used codes; the probable cause and narrative are the NTSB's own words. This site 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 FTW00LA177.
