## Narrative

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

THE AIRPLANE BOUNCED WHILE LANDING AT NIGHT.  THE PILOT PUSHED FORWARD ON ELEVATOR CONTROLS CAUSING THE NOSE WHEEL TO IMPACT THE RUNWAY WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CAUSE THE NOSE TIRE TO BUST, AND THE AIRCRAFT TO VEER ON THE RUNWAY CAUSTING THE LEFT WING TO SCRAPE THE SURFACE.

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.
