## Narrative

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

DURING TAKE OFF POWER APPLICATION, AIRCRAFT DEVELOPED A SEVERE SHAKE / SHIMMY.  PILOT RETARDED THROTTLE AND TURNED TO EXIT RUNWAY.  DURING TRANSITION FROM RUNWAY TO TAXIWAY, THE NLG ASSY COLLAPSED CAUSING THE LEFT AND RIGHT PROPELLERS TO MAKE GROUND CONTACT.

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.
