What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Pilot attempted to land at rhv and experienced a wind shear. The nose of the aircraft dipped and he experienced a prop strike. The engine RPM did not change. He called the aircraft owner privacy data omitted at anglo American and described the damage. He described the incident to privacy data omitted. At that time, privacy data omitted instructed the pilot to return to gillespie field (see), California. When questioned as to why he instructed the pilot to return to see, privacy data omitted said that he was under the impression that the aircraft could fly as long as there was no drop in engine RPM. The current AD 2004-10-14C, states that the engine must be torn down for inspection if the engine experiences a prop strike. It does not matter if there is a drop in engine RPM or not. An eir was processed against privacy data omitted who took full responsibility for the oversight.
