## Narrative

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

TAILWHEEL EITHER FAILED TO EXTEND OR COLLAPSED ON LANDING ON RUNWAY 12 AT DUTCH HARBOR.  PILOT ELECTED TO TAXI CLEAR OF THE RUNWAY BECAUSE AN AIRCRAFT WAS ON FINAL APPROACH.  TAXI OPERATION CAUSED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE KEEL.

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.
