## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: WHILE CONDUCTING GROUND RUN PRIOR TO FLIGHT, AIRCRAFT TAIL RAISED OFF THE GROUND AND CONTINUED TO ROTATE FORWARD ON ITS MAIN GEAR UNTIL AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST ON ITS OWN PROPELLER. PILOT STATEMENT INDICATED ENGINE POWER WAS APPROACHING POWER SETTING OF APPROXIMATELY 30 INCHES OF MANIFOLD PRESSURE & 2250 PROPELLER RPM WHEN TAIL STARTED TO RISE. AT THIS POINT PILOT REDUCED POWER WHICH DID NOT STOP THE TAIL FROM RISING FURTHER. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE GROUND.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
