## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED DURING FINAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 2 ESTABLISHED A GOOD STABLE APPROACH, DESCENDED TO THE FLARE JUST PAST THE NUMBERS AND TOUCHED DOWN ABOUT LESS THAN A QUARTER OF THE WAY DOWN THE RUNWAY.  TO THAT POINT THE APPROACH TO LANDING AND FLARE SEEMED NORMAL AND THE BEGINNING OF A GOOD 3 POINT LANDING.  RIGHT AS THE WHEELS TOUCHED I FELT THE AIRCRAFT BEGIN TO LIFT SLIGHTLY AND YAW LEFT AS THE MAINS SETTLED AGAIN AND THE AIRCRAFT GROUND LOOPED TO THE LEFT.  THE AIRCRAFT PITCHED FORWARD AND TO THE RIGHT.

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.
