## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT DEPARTED DVT AND PLANNED TO FLY TO DES MOINES, IOWA. WHILE CRUISING @ 9000 FT. (AGL) APPROX. 30 MILES NORTHWEST OF SHOWLOW, AZ, POOR WEATHER DETERMINED A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING @ SOW. THE SECOND PILOT SET THE A/C UP FOR A NORMAL LANDING ON THE EAST-WEST RUNWAY @ SHOW LOW (SOW). AT APPROX. 30 FT (AGL) THE PILOT/OWNER NOTICED THAT THE L/H WING WAS LOW AND TOOK OVER THE CONTROLS. IN THE PROCESS OF THE TOUCHDOWN THE A/C CONTACTED THE RUNWAY HARD ON THE L/H MAIN GEAR, THEN THE R/H MAIN GEAR, AND FINALLY THE NOSE GEAR. THE RESULTS WERE A CRACKED L/H MAIN WHEEL HUB, A BENT NOSEWHEEL FORK. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE OCCUPANTS OR POST-EVENT FIRE.

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.
