## Narrative

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

(-23) ON JUNE 20, 2001, N1477R, A GRUMMAN AMERICAN TRAINER AIRCRAFT, CRASHED DURING A LANDING ATTEMPT CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PILOT (ONLY OCCUPANT). THIS WAS RULED AN INCIDENT AND NOT AN ACCIDENT BY AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORS.  DURING AN INTERVIEW WITH THE PILOT, HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AS EVERYTHING HAPPENED SO QUICKLY.  PILOT WAS VERY UPSET BUT COOPERATIVE.

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.
