## Narrative

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

ON 11/18/2015 AT 1300 LOCAL TIME ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, WHILE ACTING AS PILOT IN COMMAND PROCEEDED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 16 AT KSWI.  THE AIRCRAFT MADE A RAPID TURN TO THE RIGHT AFTER TOUCHDOWN AND THE RIGHT WHEEL ENTERED THE GRASS WHILE THE LEFT WHEEL STAYED ON THE RUNWAY.  AS THE AIRCRAFT SPEED DECREASED, THE RIGHT WHEEL STUCK INTO THE SATURATED GRASS AND TIPPED THE AIRCRAFT FORWARD.  THE RESULT WAS A NOSE STRIKE, PROP STRIKE AND WHEEL PANT DAMAGE.  NO OTHER INJURIES TO REPORT.

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.
