## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT AND ONLY OCCUPANT LANDED RW 16 AT GXY AND DURING THE LANDING GOT THE RIGHT WHEEL IN THE GRASS. HE MADE THE DECISION TO CONTINUE HIS LANDING ROLL ON THE GRASS. THINKING THAT HE MAY HAVE CONTACTED A RUNWAY LIGHT, HE STOPPED THE AIRCRAFT, GOT OUT AND LOOKED FOR DAMAGE. FINDING NO DAMAGE HE GOT BACK INTO THE AIRCRAFT, STARTED IT AND PROCEEDED TO TAXI TO PARKING. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET THE TAXI STARTED IN THE SOFT GRASS, HE APPLIED EXCESSIVE POWER AND NOSED THE AIRCRAFT OVER. DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WAS LIMITED TO THE PROP AND SUDDEN STOPPAGE OF THE ENGINE. HE WAS NOT INJURED DURING THE INCIDENT BUT RECEIVED A SHOULDER INJURY SECONDARY TO THE INCIDENT AFTER DEPARTING THE AIRCRAFT THE SECOND TIME.

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.
