## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON JANUARY 11, 1997, AT 1300 HOURS MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME, AN EXPERIMENTAL HOMEBUILT "JENNY", N8100X, WAS TAXIING BACK TO THE HANGAR AT RYAN FIELD, AZ WHEN THE AIRCRAFT LEFT THE HARD SURFACE AND SUNK INTO THE WET GROUND, STOPPING ALL FORWARD MOVEMENT AND BROKE ONE OF THE WOODEN LANDING STRUTS. THE AIRCRAFT WAS OWNED AND OPERATED BY STEPHEN C. PARKMAN, AND WAS BEING FLOWN BY THE PILOT FOR A LOCAL AREA PERSONAL FLIGHT. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED, INCLUDING CALM WIND CONDITIONS. THE AIRCRAFT INCURRED MINOR DAMAGE. THE CERTIFICATED PRIVATE PILOT, THE SOLE OCCUPANT, WAS NOT INJURED. THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED FROM RYAN FIELD AT 1200 ON THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT AS A LOCAL TRAFFIC PATTERN PRACTICE FLIGHT.

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.
