## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT WAS LANDING ON A TURF STRIP ABOUT 10 MILES SOUTHEAST OF WHITE RIVER, SD. THE STRIP IS USED BY AN AGRICULTURAL APPLICATOR. THE AIRPLANE'S MAIN GEAR ENTERED A FURROW WHICH CAUSED THE AIRPLANE TO VEER LEFT. THE PILOT OVERCORRECTED TO THE RIGHT AND IT STRUCK A FENCE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STRIP. THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE WING STRUT, COWLING, AND PROPELLER. THE PILOT AND PASSENGER WERE NOT INJURED. THE PILOT SAID THAT IN THE FUTURE HE WOULD PHYSICALLY INSPECT EACH PRIVATE AIRSTRIP BEFORE USING.

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.
