## Narrative

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

THE AIRMAN WAS OBTAINING RECENCY OF EXPERIENCE FOR FAR 61.57.  ON LANDING AT KFAT AIRPORT RUNWAY 29L THE AIRPLANE REPORTEDLY PULLED HARD RIGHT AND THE RESULTING FORCE AND POSSIBLE BRAKE APPLICATION CAUSE THE RIGHT WING TO SCRAPE THE GROUND AND BEND THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR AXLE.  THE PILOT HAD LAST FLOWN A TAILWHEEL AIRPLANE 1 AND 1/2 YEARS PREVIOUS.   HE PRESENT POSITION IS AS A GULFSTREAM V CAPTAIN.  WIND WAS NOT A FACTOR.

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.
