## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT STATED UPON LANDING THAT THE NOSE CAME UP ABOUT 18 INCHES AND THEN BACK DOWN, GAVE POWER INPUT TO REFLARE AND LANDED, TAXIED BACK TO PARKING SPOT. PILOT THEN NOTICED THAT HIS PROP TIPS WERE BENT TOWARDS THE AIRCRAFT APPROX. FOUR INCHES.

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.
