## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT, N214EX AN EXTRA 300, WAS ARRIVING ON RUNWAY 1 AT N14 AFTER A VFR FLIGHT FROM LWM.  THE PILOT STATED THAT DURING THE FLARE THE AIRCRAFT BALLOONED SLIGHTLY AND HE EASED OFF A BIT, UPON FLARING AGAIN THE TAIL WHEEL TOUCHED DOWN FOLLOWED BY THE MAIN WHEELS.  THE LEFT UNDERCARRIAGE IMMEDIATELY COLLAPSED AND THE PROPELLER AND LEFT WING STRUCK THE GROUND.  THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED TO THE LEFT ACROSS THE GRASS MEDIAN AND ACROSS THE PARALLEL TAXIWAY.  THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST IN THE PARKING AREA.  THE PILOT AND ONE PILOT RATED PASSENGER WERE NOT INJURED.  PILOT RATED EYEWITNESS REPORTED A HIGH FLARE (NOSE 8 - 10 FEET OFF OF THE GROUND) FOLLOWED BY A HARD LANDING AND SUBSEQUENT GEAR COLLAPSE.

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.
