## Narrative

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

(-23) UPON LANDING AT ROLLA NATIONAL AIRPORT (VIH), PILOT (NEWKIRK) STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO A HARD LANDING. PILOT (NEWKIRK) TAXIIED TO A HANGAR, SHUT DOWN THE AIRCRAFT ENGINE AND NOTICED THAT THE PROPELLER BLADE TIPS WERE BENT ABOUT 90 DEGREES, APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES FROM THE BLADE TIP.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED A 10 DEGREE BEND IN THE NOSE LANDING GEAR STRUT ASSEMBLY.  ALSO THE NOSE WHEEL WAS BENT IN THE BEAD AREA.  ALL DAMAGE WAS DUE TO HARD LANDING.

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.
