The pilot became distracted on final approach, causing the airspeed to deteriorate and the rate of descent to increase, which he did not arrest. The aircraft subsequently landed heavily, dislodging the nose wheel. The nose gear leg dug into the surface of the airstrip, causing the aircraft to overturn. Both occupants escaped uninjured.
