## Narrative

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

DURING THE APPROACH AND LANDING A STRONG, GUSTY 90 DEGREE CROSSWIND WAS OCCURING.  THE LANDING WAS KEPT UNDER CONTROL, BUT JUST AS THE GROUNDSPEED WAS MINIMAL, DURING THE LAST OF THE ROLLOUT, A STRONG GUST OCCURRED.  BRAKE WAS APPLIED BUT THE PLANE WAS BLOWN UP ONTO THE NOSE, CAUSING A PROPSTRIKE, NOSE CONE AND COWLING DAMAGE.  IN RETROSPECT THE PILOT ADMITTED HE SHOULD NOT HAVE LANDED, GIVEN THE WIND CONDITIONS.

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.
