## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT HAS CONSIDERABLE EXPERIENCE BUT IS LOW TIME IN TYPE AND WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH TRIM CHARACTERISTICS OF AIRCRAFT (MOVING TAIL).  RAN OUT OF ELEVATOR TRAVEL DURING HIGHER SPEED LANDING AFTER REQUEST BY ATC TO MOVE UP ONE SPOT IN LANDING ORDER AND EXPEDITE LANDING.  AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH A SLIGHT NOSE DOWN ALTITUDE CAUSING PROP TO STRIKE AIRCRAFT TAXING TO RAMP.  PILOT DID NOT REALIZED PROP STRIKE HAD OCCURRED.  SINCE THIS EVENT PILOT HAS RECEIVED ADDITIONAL DUAL TRAINING AND WAS PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED TO ATTEND FLIGHT SAFETY.

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.
