## Narrative

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

N34GR, A 2005 FOUND FBA-2C1 RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE AT THE ELK RIVER, IDAHO AIRPORT ON NOVEMBER 23, 2013.  THE COMMERCIAL PILOT/FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR LANDED IN DEEP CRUSTY SNOW WHICH CAUSED THE CONVENTIONAL GEARED AIRPLANE TO ROLL UP ON IT'S NOSE.  DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO THE THREE PROPELLER BLADES.  NO STRUCTURAL OR OTHER DAMAGE OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF THIS LANDING.

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.
