## Narrative

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

(-23) AS THE PILOT TOUCHED DOWN HE NOTICED HE WASN'T TRACKING STRAIGHT WITH GROUND. THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO SKID BRIEFLY, THEN THE RIGHT WHEEL DUG INTO THE GROUND CAUSING THE RIGHT WING TIP TO STRIKE THE GROUND. THE AIRCRAFT WAS STILL TRAVELING ENOUGH TO TIP OVER ON ITS TOP. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
