That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N2838Z's record changes.
The pilot reported that he had landed further down the snow and ice covered runway than anticipated due to being "a little high and a little fast" during the approach. He added that he applied brakes, but he was not slowing down quick enough, and determined there was not enough runway left to attempt a go-around. He controlled the airplane "the best [he] could until [he] hit the snow berm at the end of the runway"; subsequently, the airplane nosed over.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the windshield.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
