## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT MADE A ROUGH LANDING AND ITS PROPELLER STRUCK THE RUNWAY SURFACE. DURING THE ON SCENE INVESTIGATION OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE PROP STRIKE D AMAGE WAS MINIMAL, THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT HAVE DAMAGE AT ALL, EXCEPT FOR THE PROP TIPS. THE PROP STRIKE WAS SO MINOR THAT THE PILOT DID NOT REALIZE THAT THE PROP HAD STRUCK THE RUNWAY SURFACE. THAT'S WHY HE CONTINUED AFTER LANDING TO THE AIRCRAFT'S RAMP.

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.
