Video shows plane flip over in yard during rough landing
The plane, a Cessna 150, turned over onto its top during the turbulent landing in a grassy yard on June 29 around 9:00 a.m., Fox Carolina and WYFF reported.
The incident occurred in Pelzer, a town about 16 miles from Greenville. In an interview with WYFF, the pilot said a bump in the grass caused the small, fast-moving aircraft to go into the air, adding that he flipped it to prevent additional damage.
"I made the decision to just plant it, slow it down as slow as I could, and right before the treeline, put it on its top," he stated.

SEE IT: Small plane flips over in South Carolina backyard after pilot's deliberate maneuver
Home surveillance footage captured the startling moment a single-engine Cessna 150 flipped over in a backyard in South Carolina. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed to Fox News Digital that the small aircraft overturned during a rough landing in a grassy yard in Pelzer, South Carolina, around 9 a.m. Sunday, June 29. Footage, captured on Vicki Coker's Nest surveillance camera, showed the aircraft tumbling through a grassy yard. Speaking to WYFF 4, the pilot said he was aiming to land on a grass strip along Williams Road when he came in too fast. As the plane hit a bump in the uneven ground, it suddenly lifted back into the air. In a split-second decision, he chose to deliberately flip the aircraft, believing it was the only way to prevent further damage. The pilot survived the flip, the FAA said. The National Transportation Safety Board confirmed to Fox News Digital that it is investigating the weekend accident. "There was an incident on Sunday in which a Cessna 150 airplane flipped over after landing on a grass strip," the agency said in a statement. "The extent of the damage to the airplane has not yet been determined. As damage is substantial, it will be classified as an accident, and the NTSB will open an investigation."
