## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON JUNE 8, 1996, DURING LIFT OFF AT THE SIOUX FALLS, SD AIRPORT, THE NOSE DIPPED AND THE NOSE WHEEL STRUCK THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT IN COMMAND, A PRIVATE PILOT, CONTINUED THE FLIGHT UNAWARE OF ANY DAMAGE. THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED ON LANDING. NEITHER THE PILOT NOR THE PASSENGER WERE INJURED. DAMAGE WAS MINOR.

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.
