## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROACHING FOR LANDING ON RUNWAY 27 AND STRUCK THE TOPS OF THE TREES ON THE APPROACH END WITH THE RIGHT WING OF THE AIRCRAFT.  THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED THE APPROACH AND LANDED SAFELY.

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.
