Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot and passenger returned to their home airport after practicing landings at nearby airports. The pilot remembered an uneventful approach for the night landing on a 7,000-foot runway. The pilot could not remember the landing. The passenger reported to the airport police that '...[the pilot] was at the controls demonstrating a nighttime landing when they took a bad hop and crashed, landing upside down.' Examination of the wreckage revealed that, after departing the runway, the airplane struck the ground in a nose down attitude. The impact separated the nose gear and both engines from their mounts. The airplane subsequently nosed over and came to rest inverted.
