## Narrative

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

(-23) APPROACH AND LANDING TO FALLBROOK AIRPORT, RUNWAY 18, WAS UNEVENTFUL.  WINDS WERE OUT OF THE WEST-SOUTHWEST AT APPROXIMATELY 15 KNOTS.  AFTER TOUCHDOWN AND PASSING A BUILDING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE RUNWAY, THE PILOT ENCOUNTERED GUSTY WINDS CAUSING HIM TO LOSE CONTROL AND TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION ON THE FLIGHT CONTROLS AND BRAKES.  ALTHOUGH, IT RESULTED IN A PROP STRIKE AND SUDDEN STOPPAGE OF THE ENGINE, THE AIRCRAFT NEVER LEFT THE RUNWAY.  FALLBROOK IS THE HOME BASE FOR THIS PILOT.  WITH THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT PILOT COMPETENCY WAS NOT A FACTOR IN THIS INCIDENT.

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.
