## Narrative

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

(-23) WHILE MAKING A LOW APPROACH THE PILOT INADVERTENTLY HIT WIRES. HE THEN LANDED AND DISCOVERED HE HAD HIT THE WIRES, DAMAGING THE SPINNER. OTHER MINOR DAMAGE TO THE WING AND FUSELAGE WAS DISCOVERED LATER.

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.
