## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT STATED THAT HE LANDED "FLAT" WITH ALL THREE GEAR TOUCHING AT THE SAME TIME.  HE BOUNCED BACKUP THEN BEGAN TO PORPOISE AND HIT THE RUNWAY NOSE FIRST.  THE NOSE LANDING GEAR THEN BROKE OFF AND THE AIRCRAFT SKIDDED TO A STOP.  HE STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS PERFORMING NORMAL PRIOR TO THAT.  A MECHANIC AT WISEMAN AVIATION STATED THAT THE NOSE LANDING GEAR WAS BROKEN OFF AND THE PROPELLER BLADES BENT BACK, BUT THAT HE COULD NOT FIND ANY DAMAGE TO STRUCTURAL MEMBERS, INCLUDING THE FIREWALL.

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.
