## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(.4)THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED DURING LANDING AND WAS 30 DEGREES TO RUNWAY HEADING WHEN IT AGAIN TOUCHED DOWN. THE AIRCRAFT WENT OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY, CROSSED OVER A TAXIWAY, AND CAME TO REST IN A GRASS AREA ADJACENT TO THE TAXIWAY. AS THE AIRCRAFT CROSSED THE TAXIWAY THE NOSE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE LEFT WING CONTACTED THE GROUND.
