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

POST ACCIDENT FOUND WATER AND OTHER BROWN SLUDGE IN HEADER TANK IN POD.  AIRCRAFT HAS STC KIT FOR LARGE TIRES AND BIGGER NOSE FORK.  THIS CAUSE THE AIRCRAFT TO APPEAR TO SIT LOWER AND MAY HAVE ALLOWED WATAER TO BE FURTHER BACK IN TANK AND NOT ALLOWED TO BE SUMPED OUT BY PILOT.
