## Narrative

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

(-23) THE APPROPRIATELY RATED AND CERTIFICATED PRIVATE PILOT WAS MAKING A LANDING AT QUINCY AIRPORT RUNWAY 4 WHILE ON A PERSONAL PLEASURE FLIGHT FROM DUPAGE, ILLINOIS TO QUINCY. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ABOUT 4 FEET FROM THE APPROACH END VERY HARD, BREAKING OFF THE NOSE STRUT. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST ON THE RUNWAY ON THE MAIN LANDING GEAR AND THE BROKEN NOSE STRUT. THE PILOT EXITED THE AIRCRAFT WITHOUT INJURY. THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERED DAMAGE TO THE NOSE AREA, MAIN LANDING GEAR, BRAKE ASSEMBLIES AND THE FUSELAGE IN THE AREA OF THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR.
