## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE PILOT WAS NOT VERY HELPFUL IN DESCRIBING EXACTLY WHAT OCCURRED. HE DID STATE THAT HIS FIRST APPROACH TO RUNWAY 21 WAS ABORTED AFTER TOUCH DOWN. TIRE TRACKS INDICATED THE AIRCRAFT RAN OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY, THEN BECAME AIRBORNE AGAIN. THEN SANK TO THE GROUND AGAIN APPROXIMATELY 450 FEET BEYOND THE END OF THE RUNWAY. HE THINKS THE NOSE GEAR DRAG LINK WAS BROKEN AT THIS POINT OF GROUND CONTACT. AFTER FINALLY BECOMING AIRBORNE, HE DECIDED TO LAND THIS TIME ON RUNWAY 03. AT TOUCHDOWN, HE STATED THAT HE THOUGHT THE NOSE WAS SETTLING TOO LOW. THE NOSE CONTINUED TO COLLAPSE AND THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND OFF TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY ABOUT 50 FEET FROM THE END. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT PROP STRIKES FROM BOTH ENGINES WERE PRESENT AT A STARTING POINT OF ABOUT 155 PACES FROM THE THRESHOLD AND CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 28 PACES, THEN THEY QUIT. AT A POINT OF ABOUT 1800 FEET FROM THE THRESHOLD, THE LEFT PROPELLER RESUMED STRIKING THE CONCRETE AS THE AIRCRAFT TRAVELED OFF THE RUNWAY ONTO THE GRASS AND CAME TO REST THERE. THE LEFT PROPELLER WAS FEATHERED.THE PROPELLER WAS PROBABLY INADVERTENTLY FEATHERED AT A POINT BETWEEN THE FIRST PROP STRIKES AND THE SECOND AREA OF RIGHT PROP STRIKES. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE NOSE GEAR DOORS AND PROPELLERS. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ 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.
