## Narrative

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

PILOT USED FULL FLAPS AND EXTRA AIRSPEED WHEN LANDING ON A RUNWAY WITH A 50 DEGREE LEFT CROSSWIND OF 14 KNOTS, GUSTING TO 26 KNOTS.  PILOT USED A LEFT CRABBING APPROACH, THEN ATTEMPTED TO ESTABLISH A LEFT SLIP JUST BEFORE TOUCH-DOWN.  WITH THE EXCESS AIRSPEED, THE AIRCRAFT FLOATED IN GROUND EFFECT BEFORE THE WHEELS TOUCHED DOWN.  THE UPWIND WING HAD MORE LIFT, CAUSING THE RIGHT WING TO BE DRAGGED ON THE GROUND.  THE NOSE WAS LOWERED TO REDUCE THE LIFT, ALLOWING THE PROPELLER TO STRIKE THE GROUND.

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.
