Analysis
The pilot reported that after a normal approach to the runway, the airplane touched down and bounced high. The airplane stalled, and touched down a second time onto the grass to the left of the runway surface. The nose wheel dug into the ground and the airplane nosed over, coming to a rest inverted. The airplane’s right wing and empennage sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported no mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
