## Narrative

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

(-23) THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED AT FALCON FIELD, THE TOTAL LENGTH OF THE FLIGHT WAS 1.9 HOURS. RUNWAY 22L WAS THE LANDING RUNWAY, THE WIND WAS CALLED OUT AS VARIABLE AT 155. THE APPROACH TO LANDING WAS NORMAL, THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN WITH A SLIGHT BOUNCE, THE AIRCRAFT VEERED AND FULL RUDDER WAS USED TO ATTEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN OUT. THE PILOT BELIEVES THAT HE KEPT THE BRAKE ON DURING THE OSCILLATION. THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND JUST BEFORE STOPPING THE TAIL CAME AROUND. AS THE AIRCRAFT WAS STOPPING ITS SWING, ONE WINGTIP LOWERED AND THE TAIL RAISED, RESULTING IN THE PROP BLADES CONTACTING THE GROUND. ONE OF THE CARBON FIBER BLADES SHATTERED IN TWO. THE BRAKE CONTINUED TO BE APPLIED WHEN THE AIRCRAFT STOPPED IN A POSITION TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE BRAKE ON THIS AIRCRAFT IS A HAND LEVER ON THE CONTROL STICK.

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.
