## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: UPON LANDING, THE NOSE LANDING GEAR TIRE BLEW. AFTER MAKING A NORMAL STOP, THE PILOT DECIDED NOT TO TAXI TO THE END OF THE RUNWAY FOR A TURNOFF DUE TO THE FLAT TIRE. INSTEAD, WHILE TAXIING TO CUT ACROSS ON THE SANDY SURFACE, PARALLEL TO THE RUNWAY, THE FRONT END SUNK, RESULTING IN PROPELLER DAMAGE.

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.
