## Narrative

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

PILOT LANDED AND SLOWED FOR TURN OFF. FRONT GEAR FELL INTO SOFT SPOT AT END OF RUNWAY CAUSING FRONT GEAR TO COLLAPSE AND PROP TO STRIKE 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.
