NTSB Factual Report

The pilot reported that, during the landing roll, on an unimproved airstrip, the tailwheel-equipped airplane "hit a hole" and came to rest inverted.

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause
