## Narrative

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

(-23) AS THE AIRCRAFT LANDED AND THE TAIL WHEEL TOUCHED THE RUNWAY, THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE RIGHT RESULTING IN THE RIGHT WING TIP AND PROPELLER BLADE TIPS HITTING THE RUNWAY. NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE LEFT TAIL WHEEL SPRING CLIP PULLED THROUGH THE STEERING ATTACHMENT ON THE RUDDER, CAUSING THE TAIL WHEEL TO GO TO A FULL RIGHT POSITION. PILOT WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. THE INCIDENT WAS THE RESULT OF POOR INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
