## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED A HARD LANDING RESULTING IN THE NLG ASSEMBLY COMING APART AND SENDING DEBRIS INTO THE BELLY OF THE A/C BETWEEN THE LEFT AND RIGHT MLG SKIN.  PILOT EXITED THE RUNWAY CAUSING THE REMAINDER OF THE NLG TO COLLAPSE AND INDUCE A PROP STRIKE AND SUDDEN STOPPAGE OF THE ENGINE.

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.
