## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT MADE A NORMAL APPROACH TO LANDING. WHEN HE TOUCHED DOWN, HE BOUNCED THE AIRCRAFT AND IT BEGAN A PORPOISE EFFECT. THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE RUNWAY, BENDING APPROXIMATELY 4 INCHES OF BOTH TIPS.

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.
