## Narrative

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

(-23) ON APRIL 19, 2001, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LAND AT THE BLAIRSTOWN AIRPORT (1N7), A GUST OF WIND PUSHED THE PLANE TO THE LEFT. BEFORE THE PILOT COULD CORRECT, THE LEFT TIRE SUNK IN THE WET GRASS.  THIS PULLED THE PLANE FURTHER TO THE LEFT AND, WHEN THE MAIN GEAR HIT THE GRASS, IT SUNK IN AND CAUSED THE PROP STRIKE AND NOSE GEAR TO BREAK OFF.
