## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT LANDED AT OCEAN CITY AIRPORT (OXB) ON RUNWAY 32. PILOT MADE HARD LANDING, CAUSING THE PROPELLER TO STRIKE THE RUNWAY.

THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.

CONSULTED WITH THE OPERATION UNIT TO CONFIRM A 44709 IS APPROPRIATE.

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.
