## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING LANDING AT TJVQ THE LEFT PROPELLER CONTACTED THE RUNWAY APPROXIMATELY 1,200 TO 1,300 FEET DOWN RUNWAY 09 CAUSING 28 STRIKE MARKS EXTENDING APPROXIMATELY 70 FEET.  THE THREE BLADES WERE CURLED BACK APPROXIMATELY 3 INCHES.  THE PILOT INITIATED A GO-AROUND AND RETURNED FOR LANDING WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.

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.
