What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Pilot owner states: was on routine flight departing and returning to hwd when he noticed an indication of abnormal cylinder head temperature on the r/h cylinders. He considered returning to hwd, but decided to make a precautionary landing at C83, as it was the nearest airport. He states he did not want to risk transiting densely populated areas with a problem which may have necessitated a forced landing. Approach and touchdown, pilot states were normal. Upon landing rollout, he states he had the impression of the aircraft nose sinking "beyond what is normal". He attempted to add power, but it was too late. The propeller struck, followed by the underside of the nose cowl. It was, he stated, quite gentle. Weather was clear, and winds negligible. Examination of the aircraft gave no evidence of component failure. All landing gear structure and attach hardware appeared intact. No structural failure in evidence.privacy data omitted
