## Narrative

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

ON 7/14/2013 A TIGER MOTH N775NL WAS LANDING AT GLOVER FIELD. GLOVER FIELD IS A 2000 FOOT PRIVATE GRASS STRIP NORTH OF FOWLERVILLE MI. THE NARROW STRIP HAD CORN PLANTED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RUNWAY. THE CORN WAS ABOUT 3-4 FEET HIGH AT THE TIME. THE PILOT WAS ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ STATED THAT IT WAS VFR WITH CALM WINDS. HE CHOSE TO PERFORM A FULL STALL 3 POINT LANDING.  AFTER THE LANDING, THE VISIBILITY WAS OBSCURED BY THE HIGH NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ MOMENTARILY LOST SIGHT OF THE RUNWAY JUST LONG ENOUGH TO STRIKE THE CORN WITH THE RIGHT WING TIP. THE AIRCRAFT THEN PULLED TO THE RIGHT, STRIKING THE LEFT WING TIP ON THE GROUND AND COMING TO REST ON THE NOSE IN THE HIGH CORN. THE LEFT WING SPAR WAS BROKEN AS A RESULT OF PULLLING THE AIRCRAFT DOWN ON TO ITS TAIL AFTER THE INCIDENT.  THERE WERE MINOR DENTS IN THE UNDERSIDE OF THE ENGINE COWL.

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.
