## Narrative

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

(-23) A/C WAS APPROACHING A SHORT GRASS STRIP. IT STRUCK A METAL POST JUST BEFORE TOUCHDOWN. PILOT FELT THAT THEY HAD SUDDENLY STARTED SINKING JUST PRIOR TO STRIKING THE GATE POST. WEATHER IS NOT A FACTOR.^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
