## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: WHILE TAKING OFF ON RUNWAY 24R THE LEFT PROPELLER DRIVE CHAIN BROKE. THE AIRCRAFT SWERVED TO THE LEFT AND THE LEFT WING CONTACTED THE GROUND CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE WING TIP. WHILE CONTROLLING THE AIRCRAFT THE PILOT LOWERED THE RIGHT WING WHICH SCRAPED THE RIGHT WING TIP ON THE GROUND CAUSING SUPERFICIAL DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT WING TIP. THE PILOT WAS THEN ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT AND LANDED IT WITHOUT FURTHER 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.
