What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot landed at dusk on runway 32 at sgf. The runway was dry and clean but the taxiways were covered with snow and ice. He taxied across some ruts in the re-frozen snow and ice on the taxiway and the airplane began oscillating up and down, which he stopped with brake application. He felt nothing hit, but he thinks he may have struck the propeller on the ground at that time. There is damage to the left landing gear doors which he thinks may be the result of taxiing across the deep ruts or off the taxiway, because the edges of the taxiway were snow-covered.
