## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON FINAL APPROACH TO LANDING AT THE GOODYEAR AIRSHIP BASE, THE AIRCRAFT'S NOSELINES STRUCK SOME POWER AND TELEPHONE LINES. TWO POWERLINES AND ONE TELEPHONE LINE WERE BROKEN AND FELL TO THE GROUND. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT OR INJURIES TO OCCUPANTS OR GROUND PERSONNEL.

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.
