## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED HE WAS IN THE  PROCESS OF MAKING A NORMAL LANDING, THE MAIN WHEELS WERE ON THE GROUND AND WHEN THE NOSE GEAR WAS LOWERED IT COLLAPSED, SUSTAINING DAMAGE TO THE PROP WHEN IT STRUCK THE RUNWAY AND MINOR DAMAGE TO THE BELLY SKIN.

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.
