## Narrative

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

THE PILOT STATED THAT AS HE CROSSED THE APPROACH END OF RUNWAY 11 HE REDUCED THE POWER AND STARTED THE FLAIR. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN NORMALLY WITH A SLIGHT BOUNCE AND THEN SETTLED ON TO THE RUNWAY. AFTER ROLLING OUT ABOUT 75 FT. THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN A SLIGHT TRACK LEFT OF CENTERLINE. HE THEN ADDED RIGHT RUDDER AND TAPPED THE RIGHT BRAKE. THE PILOT STATED THAT THIS IS WHEN THE TAIL SWUNG TO THE LEFT CAUSING THE RIGHT WING TO COME UP AND THE LEFT WING TO SLIGHTLY MAKE CONTACT WITH 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.
