## Narrative

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

AFTER A LOCAL FLIGHT, THE OPERATOR OF THE AIRCRAFT WHO HOLDS A PRIVATE PILOT CERTIFICATE, ENCOUNTERED A CROSSWIND UPON LANDING.  UPON TOUCHDOWN THE AIRCRAFT PITCHED FORWARD AND STRUCK THE PROPELLER AND RIGHT WING.  THE AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY.  THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER, SCRAPE ON RIGHT WING, AND THE NOSE LANDING GEAR WAS BENT.  TWO PERSONS WERE ABOARD THE AIRCRAFT, AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

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.
