On March 4, 2020, about 2315 mountain standard time, a Cessna 182A tailwheel equipped airplane, N4031D, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Moab, Utah. The airline transport pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations part 91 personal flight.

The pilot reported that he performed a normal 3-point landing on runway 21. During the landing roll, the airplane veered to the right, in which the pilot corrected by applying left rudder. Shortly after, the airplane "pulled hard to the right" and despite the pilot's control inputs, exited the right side of the runway and nosed over.

Postaccident examination of the airplane by the pilot revealed that the fuselage was structurally damaged. The airplane was recovered to a secure location for further examination.
