## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED THAT HE HAD A NORMAL LANDING, TOUCHED DOWN AND FLOATED UP A LITTLE BIT. THE LEFT WING HAD DIPPED LOW DUE TO CORRECTION FOR A CROSSWIND. WHEN HE CAME BACK TO LEVEL THE ACFT CONTINUED TO THE RIGHT AND THE RIGHT WING TIP HIT THE GROUND, FOLLOWED BY THE NOSE AND PROP HITTING.  AFTER EXITING THE AIRCRAFT, THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR OLEO STRUT WAS FOUND TO BE PULLED OUT OF THE GEAR HOUSING.

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.
