## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: AIRCRAFT WAS LANDING WHEN TAIL WHEEL CAME OFF. AIRCRAFT TAXIED WITHOUT INCIDENT . BOLT HOLDING TAILWHEEL BROKE. TAIL WHEEL REPAIRED. THIS CLOSES THIS INCIDENT REPORT. NO FURTHER ACTION.

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.
