## Narrative

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

(-23)  WHEN RETURNING FROM CHADRON NE, THE PILOT LANDED ON RUNWAY 32 AT RAPID CITY, SD.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON THE CENTERLINE OF THE RUNWAY, AND WAS GRADUALLY PULLED TO THE LEFT ON ROLLOUT BY A FLAT MAIN LEFT MAIN TIRE.  WHILE EXITING THE RUNWAY ON TAXIWAY A4, THE BOTTOM OF THE LEFT WING CONTACTED TO TAXI LIGHTS KNOCKING THEM OVER.  THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED MINOR SCRATCHES TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LEFT WING.  THE AIRCRAFT CLEARED THE ACTIVE RUNWAY, WHERE MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE TIRE BEFORE TOWING IT TO THE LOCAL FBO.

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.
