## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS PRACTICING CROSSWIND LANDINGS. ON HIS THIRD LANDING, HE TOUCHED DOWN LEFT GEAR FIRST, THEN RIGHT GEAR. HE STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO VIBRATE, AND THE AIRCRAFT STARTED ROTATING FORWARD ON ITS NOSE. HE SLOWED THE AIRCRAFT DOWN AND RETURNED TO THE RAMP TO CHECK THE TIRES, WHEN HE NOTICED THE PROPELLER HAD DAMAGE TO IT. HE STATED THAT HE DIDN'T NOTICE WHEN THE PROP STRUCK THE GROUND.

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.
