## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT STATED THAT DURING AN ATTEMPTED WHEEL LANDING, HE BOUNCED THE AIRCRAFT. APPARENTLY, HE TRIED TO FORCE IT BACK ON THE MAIN GEAR AND THAT'S WHEN IT WENT OVER ON ITS NOSE, HE GOT A LITTLE AGGRESSIVE WITH THE FORWARD STICK IN THE PROCESS. PILOT VOLUNTARILY SURRENDERED CERTIFICATE IN LIEU OF 44709.

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.
