## Narrative

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

(-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.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
