## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT DEPARTED Y47 RUNWAY 25 AT 11:35. PILOT ENTERED PATTERN FOR LANDING ON RUNWAY 25. FLIGHT IN THE PATTERN WAS UNEVENTFUL. LANDING APPROACH WAS UNEVENTFUL. DURING THE LAST PART OF LANDING FLARE OVER RUNWAY, PILOT FELT THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS SLIGHTLY "FLOATY". PILOT FLEW IN GROUND EFFECT JUST OVER RUNWAY TO ALLOW THE PLANE TO TOUCH DOWN SLOWLY ON THE RUNWAY. UPON TOUCHDOWN, THE PLANE VEERED LEFT AND THE LEFT REAR LANDING GEAR/WHEELS ENTERED THE DEEP PLOWED SNOW ON THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE RESULTANT DECELERATION CAUSED THE PLANE TO ASSUME A NOSE-DOWN ATTITUDE. THE PROP STRUCK THE GROUND AND THE LEFT WING TIP CONTACTED THE GROUND TOWARDS THE END OF THE EVENT. THE PLANE CAME TO REST ON ALL THREE LANDING GEAR WHEELS.
