## Narrative

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

(-23)DURING ROLLOUT AFTER LANDING, THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR CAME IN CONTACT WITH AN EXTREMELY WATER LOGGED AREA THAT HAD STANDING WATER DUE TO RECENT RAINS. SINCE THIS TAXI AREA HAD FAIRLY TALL GRASS, IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ^PRIVACY DAT^ TO SEE THE STANDING WATER FROM HIS POINT OF REFERENCE.  THE GEAR GOT CAUGHT IN THE MUD CAUSING THE LEFT STRUT TO COLLAPSE WHICH THEN CAUSED THE PROPELLER TO STRIKE THE GROUND.  AIRCRAFT DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO PROPELLER AND LEFT MAIN STRUT/BUNGEE ASSEMBLY.
