## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT WAS IN PROCESS OF LANDING AIRPLANE AND AIRPLANE BOUNCED ON INITIAL CONTACT WITH RUNWAY. THIS DAMAGED THE LANDING GEAR AND THE PROPELLER TOUCHED THE RUNWAY CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER BLADE. THE AIRPLANE CONTINUED DOWN THE CENTERLINE OF THE RUNWAY AND STOPPED. THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ EXITED THE AIRPLANE AND WAITED FOR THE AIRPORT PERSONNEL AND THE LOCAL POLICE TO ARRIVE.

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.
