What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Landing kcsg rwy 31, runway 3997' long with 0.7 upslope. Weather observation at 1133L (made at the time of the accident):clr 10 33/21/3408/991. Landed about 1000' beyond touchdown zone. Aircraft bounced and on second impact with runway, with nose-down attitude, the nose gear assembly was bent to the right, and the propeller made multiple runway strikes. The aircraft veered to the left of the runway, entering a parallel grassy strip, crossing ver twy F-2, continuing on grass, entering twy f, cross twy f to another grassy area near hangars. Skid marks show pilot-induced right wheel braking causing aircraft to veer back onto twy f, finally coming to a stop in the grass immediately to the left of twy f, 1100' from initial touchdown point. Pilot advised that he thought a wing gust caused the initial bounce however NWS records do not indicate any gusty wind conditions at the time of the accident and the crosswind component was minimal. Aircraft damage included bent propeller blades, damage to nose gear assembly, damage to firewall, and fuselage frame damage. Damage to two airport taxiway lights,one on twy F-2 and one on twy f. both lights had to be replaced.
