## Narrative

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

THE PILOT MADE AN APPROACH TO RUNWAY 12 AT KPLK.  THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN APPROXIMATELY HALFWAY DOWN THE RUNWAY WITH A QUARTERING TAILWIND.  THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED THREE TIMES, AND ON THE SECOND OR THIRD BOUNCE, THE NOSE LANDING GEAR BROKE OFF THE AIRPLANE.  THE MAIN LANDING GEAR SUBSEQUENTLY COLLAPSED AND THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST OFF THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY APPROXIMATELY 2400 FEET FROM THE DISPLACED THRESHOLD.

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.
