## Narrative

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

PILOT ATTEMPTED LANDING AND BOUNCED THE AIRCRAFT.  HE WAS NOT ABLE TO RECOVER FROM THE BOUNCE AND STRUCK THE NOSE GEAR AND PROPELLER ON THE SURFACE OF THE HARD SURFACE RUNWAY.

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.
