## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING A HIGHT SPEED TAXI TO EVALUATE WHEN THE AIRCRAFT WOULD ROTATE WITH FULL ELEVATOR AUTHORITY THE AIRRAFT NOSE LIFTED OFF THE GROUND AT ABOUT 50 MPH AND WENT AIRBORNE UNINTENTIONALLY.  THE PILOT IMMEDIATELY RETARTED THE THROTTLE AND PUSHED THE NOSE OVER TO GET BACK ONTO THE GROUND.  THE NOSE DIPPED DOWN CAUSING IT TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE SURFACE, SENDING THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCING DOWN THE RUNWAY APPROXIMATELY 2 TIMES THEN THE NOSE GEAR BROKEN OFF ON THE SECOND IMPACT AND WAS FOLLOWED BY A PROP STRIKE SLIDING BETWEEN RUNWAY LIGHTS TO A STOP OFF THE RUNWAY.  THERE WAS NO INTENTION OF FLIGHT DURING THE WHOLE INCIDENT.  THE FLIGHT PORTION WAS ACCIDENTAL.

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.
