## Narrative

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

THE CAPTAIN DEPLOYED THE THRUST REVERSES AND THOUGHT HE SAW A DOG SIZE ANIMAL, PULLED BACK ON THE YOKE, AIRCRAFT BECAME AIRBORNE AND THEN NOSED OVER HITTING THE GROUND CAUSING THE NOSE WHEEL TO BREAK OFF THE AIRCRAFT AT THE 3,000 FT POINT.

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.
