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

HE FURTHER STATES THAT AS HE BEGAN TO EXIT THE RUNWAY, THE NOSE WHEEL STRUT BROKE AT THE MIDWAY POINT, ALSO CAUSING THE DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER. THIS INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN REFERRED TO THE AIRWORTHINESS UNIT FOR DETERMINATION OF AIRWORTHINESS STATUS OF THIS 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.
