## Narrative

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

(-23) N651PB, A PILATUS PC-12/45, PILOTED BY ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ ATTEMPTED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 28 AT CENTENNIAL AIRPORT (APA) IN CENTENNIAL, CO WITH HIS GEAR UP. AS HE BEGAN TO FLARE FOR THE LANDING, THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT THEN IMMEDIATELY REJECTED THE LANDING, WENT AROUND AND LANDED ON RUNWAY 35R. THE PILOT THEN TAXIED TO PARKING WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. ANOTHER AIRCRAFT TAXIED OUT FOR TAKEOFF AND SUGGESTED TO THE TOWER THAT THEY CHECK RUNWAY 28 FOR FOD. OPERATIONS THEN CONDUCTED A RUNWAY SWEEP AND INFORMED THE TOWER THAT THERE WAS DEBRIS ON THE RUNWAY.

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.
