## Narrative

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

ON 03/09/2016, A PILOT AND ONE PASSENGER TOOK  ON A PLEASURE FLIGHT ORIGINATING FROM LAWRENCE COUNTY AIRPARK (KHTW) TO THE LOCAL AERA.  THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO HTW AND THE PILOT ATTEMPTED A LANDING ON RUNWAY 26.

THE PILOT STATED THAT THE SUN WAS LOW ON THE HORIZON AND WAS IN HIS EYES, HENCEFORTH, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE.  THE FINAL APPROACH  SPEED WAS FASTER THAN NORMAL. THIS CAUSED THE PILOT TO REDUCE SPEED WHILE OVER THE RUNWAY, RESULTING IN  THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHING DOWN APPROXIMATELY 1,000 FEET DOWN THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED BACK INTO THE AIR, AND THE PILOT FEARING HE WAS GOING TO STALL, LOWEREDTHE NOSE CAUSING THE NOSE GEAR TO STRIKE THE RUNWAY.

AFTER THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE RUNWAY, IT CAUSED THE NOSE GEAR TO SHEAR OFF RESULTING IN SUBSTANTUAL DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. THE AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND CAME TO A STOP APPROXIMATELY 2,000 FEET DOWN THE RUNWAY.  NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED.
