## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT SUFFERED A HARD LANDING COLLAPSING THE NOSE WHEEL AND DAMAGING THE PROP. THE PILOT STATES THAT DURING LAND THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED HARD BACK UP IN THE AIR. A GO-AROUND WAS INITIATED AND ON THE SUBSEQUENT LANDING THE AIRCRAFT AGAIN TOUCHED-DOWN HARD. THIS COLLAPSED THE NOSE WHEEL AND LEAD TO THE PROPELLER STRIKING THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE RUNWAY AS THE NOSE WHEEL WAS COLLAPSED UNDER THE AIRFRAME.

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.
