## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT DEMETRIOS "JAMES" BIDOZS STATED THAT HE WAS HIGH AND FAST UPON ARRIVAL AT SCOTTSDALE AIRPORT. HE SAID THAT HE WAS DISTRACTED BY A DOG THAT GOT FREE OF RESTRAINTS AND ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE COCKPIT. THE PILOT SAID THAT HE ATTEMPTED TO LAND WITH THE EXTRA SPEED AND THE AIRCRAFT PORPOISED. THE NOSE GEAR WAS BENT AND ALL FOUR PROPELLER BLADES WERE BENT. PROPELLER STRIKE MARKS WERE LEFT ON THE RUNWAY AT ABOUT 4,000 FEET BEYOND THE RUNWAY THRESHOLD AND ADDITIONAL STRIKE MARKS WERE LEFT ABOUT 4,800 FEET BEYOND THE RUNWAY THRESHOLD. AIRPORT SECURITY VIDEO SHOWS THE AIRCRAFT IN A NOSE LOW ATTITUDE DURING APPROACH AND PRIOR TO TOUCH DOWN.

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.
