## Narrative

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

PART 91 FLT DEPARTED REDDING, CA AT 1900, ARRIVED MEDFORD, OR AT 2000 (APPROXIMATE)  WX AND RUNWAY WERE NOT A FACTOR.  PILOT STATES THAT HE WAS MAKING A STRAIGHT IN APPROACH TO RUNWAY 32 IN MEDFORD AND BELIEVES HE LANDED A LITTLE TOO FAST AND AT TOO STEEP OF AN ANGLE.  NOSE GEAR STRUCK THE RUNWAY FIRST, AND HE BOUNCED THREE TIMES.  THE NOSE WHEEL FORK BROKE OFF AND THE PLANE CAME TO A STOP ON THE REMAINDER OF THE NOSE STRUT.  NO INJURY TO THE PILOT WHO WAS THE SOLE OCCUPANT.  PILOT EXITED THE A/C ON HIS OWN.

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.
