## Narrative

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

UPON CONTACTING TULSA TOWER IT WAS NOTED BY  THE PILOT THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS YAWING TO THE RIGHT(NOSE RIGHT).  RUDDER TRIM WAS APPLIED AND AIRCRAFT SEEMED MANAGABLE.  THE PILOT DECIDED TO DO A PRECAUTIONARY SOFT FIELD LANDING .  UPON TOUCHDOWN OF THE NOSE WHEEL, A LOUD SKIDING SOUND WAS HEARD FOLLOWED BY THE PROPELLOR STRIKING THE GROUND.

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.
