## Narrative

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

PILOT STATES THAT JUST BEFORE TOUCHDOWN THE PLANE BEGAN TO FLOAT, AND LANDED SOMEWHAT HARD, AFTER LANDING THE PLANE BOUND UP AND VEERED TO THE RIGHT, AND WOBBLED LEFT AND RIGHT.ON ONE VEER TO THE RIGHT, THE PLANE TIPPED TOWARD THE LEFT SIDE AND THE PROP STRUCK THE 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.
