## Narrative

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

(-23)  THE PILOT WAS CLEARED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 29R AT KFAT AFTER AN IFR FLIGHT FROM VNY.  ON SHORT FINAL THE AIRCRAFT SETTLED TO THE RUNWAY AND MADE A 3 POINT LANDING CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO BOUNCE.  DURING THE SECOND BOUNCE THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE SURFACE.  AFTER LANDING THE AIRCRAFT TAXIED TO A NEARBY FBO AND ASSESSED THE DAMAGE.

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.
