## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT FLEW OVER SOME TREES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PASS.  PILOT WAS HEAVY AND WAS FLARING WHEN HE REALIZED HE WAS TOO LOW.  THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR TIRE STRUCK THE LEVEE IN THE RICE FIELD AND CARTWHEELED THE AIRCRAFT THREE TIMES.  THE ENGINE EMPENNAGE COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM THE AIRCRAFT LEAVING THE COCKPIT AND WINGS INTACT.  NO INJURIES REPORTED.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
