## Narrative

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

(-23) MS. ABBOTT WAS ENROUTE FROM SEMINOLE, OK (H45) TO GJT. SHE WAS FLYING TOO FAST FOR THE LANDING AND STARTED TO PORPOISE. SHE LANDED NOSE WHEEL FIRST. THE LANDING WAS CONSIDERED HARD BY THE GJT CONTROL TOWER AND THE NOSE TIRE HAD A BLOW OUT. WITH THE LOWER CLEARANCE THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE GROUND. MAINTENANCE AT TIMBERLINE AVIATION INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AND STATED THE FIRE WALL WAS NOT DAMAGED. MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRPLANE WAS EVIDENT AND NO INJURIES TO THE OCCUPANTS.

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.
