## Narrative

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

(-23) ACCORDING TO THE AVL ATCT THE AIRCRAFT WAS LANDING ON RWY 34. IT LANDED HARD, PORPOISED, AND TOOK OFF AGAIN. THE NEXT APPROACH AND LANDING WERE UNEVENTFUL. AFTER TAXIING TO THE RAMP THE PILOT REPORTED A PROP STRIKE. THE PILOT STATED TO THE REPORTING INSPECTOR THAT THE WINDS WERE DOWN THE RUNWAY AT ABOUT 18 KNOTS. THE AIRCRAFT BALLOONED ON LANDING. HE THEN ADDED POWER AND MADE A GO-AROUND. THE NEXT LANDING WAS A NORMAL. AFTER ENGINE SHUT DOWN HE NOTICED THE RIGHT PROP HAD BEED DAMAGED. THE 1554 LOCAL AVL WEATHER REPORTED THE WINDS AT 340 DEGREES AT 17 KNOTS.

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.
