## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE PILOT RETURNED TO EDWARD F. KNAPP AIRPORT (MVP), MONTPELIER, VT AFTER A SIGHTSEEING TRIP TO RUTLAND, VT. HE STATED THAT SINCE THE WINDS HAD BEEN CALM AT THE TIME HE DEPARTED MVP APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS EARLIER, HE WOULD ENTER THE DOWNWIND FOR RUNWAY 35 AND LAND. THE ACTUAL WIND AT EDWARD F. KNAPP AIRPORT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN 180 DEGREES AT 10 KNOTS. THE PILOT CONTINUED HIS APPROACH TO RUNWAY 35 AND AS THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN, IT BOUNCED ON THE MAIN GEAR AND BECAME AIRBORNE. RATHER THAN MAKE A TIMELY GO-AROUND, THE PILOT CONTINUED HIS LANDING ATTEMPT. THE AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER ONTO THE NOSE GEAR AND BEGAN PORPOISING DOWN THE RUNWAY. AFTER ABOUT THREE OR FOUR PORPOISES THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE AIRCRAFT SLID ON IT'S NOSE UNTIL COMING TO REST. DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED TO THE NOSE GEAR ASSEMBLY, PROPELLER ASSEMBLY, ENGINE COWLING AND ENGINE MOUNTS.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
