## Narrative

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

(-23)THE NOSE WHEEL OF N6563V COLLAPSED AS IT PASSED OVER A ROAD THAT CROSSES THE GRASS RUNWAY AT THE MCGEEHEE CATFISH RESTAURANT AIRPORT. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO TRAVEL ON THE RUNWAY FOR ABOUT EIGHT HUNDRED FEET BEFORE COMING TO A STOP.  ALL THREE BLADES OF THE PROP WERE BENT AFT.  THE LOWER ENGINE COWL WAS DAMAGED AND THE RIGHT HALF OF THE NOSE WHEEL WAS BROKEN.  THE BOTTOM SURFACE OF THE RIGHT ELEVATOR HAD A TEAR IN THE FABIC, THAT APPEARED NEW.

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.
