## Narrative

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

THE PROPELLER (R) WAS BENT AND THE RIGHT WINGTIP SUFFERED LITTLE DAMAGE. THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR CONTROL TORQUE TUBE WAS DAMAGED AT THE ATTACHING POINT. THE PILOT WAS UNINJURED AND THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINIMAL DAMAGE. THIS INCIDENT IS CLOSED.

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.
