## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE AIRMAN DESCRIBED THE SITUATION AS SUCH: AS I WAS COMING INTO LAND EVERYTHING LOOKED O.K. ON THE LANDING TO FLARE PORTION THE LEFT WING TIP CAME UP. I THEN HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT THAT DISTRACTED ME. THE PLANE THEN DRIFTED OFF THE RUNWAY. THE PROP WAS HITTING THE GROUND AND I ENDED UP OFF THE RUNWAY IN THE DIRT. WHEN THE AIRPORT MAN DROVE UP IN THE TRUCK WE FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A HAMMER THAT WAS LEFT IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE AIRMAN HAS BEEN ACTIVELY FLYING FROM 4-9-97 UNTIL PRESENT DAY. TOTAL OF ABOUT 20 HOURS, WITH 28 LANDINGS ACCOMPLISHED BEFORE THE INCIDENT. SHE SAID THAT SHE WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE CONDITIONS (WEATHER) BEFORE AND HAD SEEN DUST DEVILS IN THE AREA BEFORE. THE CONVERSATION WITH HER HUSBAND REVEALED THAT THE FLARE LOOKED NORMAL BOTH MAINS HAD TOUCHED, THEN, THE TAIL RAISED UP. SHE DEPARTED THE RUNWAY. THE PROPELLER HIT ABOUT 4 TIMES, THE WING TIP WAS SCRATCHED UP A LITTLE AND THE WHEEL PANTS WERE SCRATCHED. CHANDLER AIR SERVICE DID A "RUN OUT" ON THE CRANKSHAFT AND FOUND NO CRACKS WITH "0" TOLERANCE. HE ALSO ADDED THAT ANOTHER AIRCRAFT, THAT HAD LANDED JUST AFTER JULIE, REPORTED WINDSHEAR ON LANDING.

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.
