## Narrative

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

THE PILOT WAS LANDING AT HIS HOME AIRPORT IN SUNNYSIDE, WA (1S5) AFTER A SHORT CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT. HE STATED THAT BECAUSE OF THE INCREASINGLY GUSTY WINDS, HE FLEW HIS APPROACH WITH 20 DEGREES OF FLAPS AND CARRIED MORE SPEED ON FINAL TO RWY 07. AFTER TOUCHING DOWN ON THE MAINS, HE WAS KEEPING THE NOSE UP WHEN AN APPARENT GUST HIT AND HE BECAME AIRBORNE AGAIN. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE RETRACTED THE FLAPS AND ADDED POWER. THE AIRPLANE THEN LOST LIFT AND LANDED ON THE NOSEWHEEL--BLOWING OUT THE NOSEWHEEL TIRE AND STRIKING THE PROPELLOR.
