## Narrative

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

PILOT LANDED ON GRAVEL RUNWAY AND THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED THEN PITCHED NOSE DOWN STRIKING THE PROPELLER.  THE PILOT PULLED THE CONTROL STICK FULL AFT AND ADDED POWER TO REGAIN PITCH UP ATTITUDE THEN REDUCED POWER AND LANDED. THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT FLIP OVER.  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.
