## Narrative

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

(-23) SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF FROM SEZ, A COUNTERWEIGHT BOLT ON THE HAM-STD, 3D40-271 PROP BROKE, ALLOWING ONE BLADE TO GO TO FULL COURSE PITCH WHILE REMAINING TWO BLADES REMAINED AT FLAT PITCH, CAUSING A SEVERE VIBRATION AND LOSS OF THRUST. PILOT TURNED BACK TO THE AIRPORT AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT CONTACTED THE RUNWAY WITH THE GEAR STILL IN TRANSIT CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO BOUNCE BACK INTO THE AIR. IT ALSO CAUSED A SERVE TO THE RIGHT. WITH THE BOUNCE, THE GEAR DID LOCK DOWN AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT AND THE TAIL DOWN, BUT LACKING THRUST, PILOT COULD NOT REGAIN THE RUNWAY. AIRCRAFT WENT OFF CROSSED THE TAXI WAY, CONTINUING ON THE GROUND, STRIKING A TREE AND POST DOING DAMAGE TO THE LEADING EDGES AND TIPS OF BOTH OF THE WINGS. PILOT SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND SECURED THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
