## Narrative

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

UPON LANDING THE MAIN (REAR) WHEELS TOUCHED FIRST AND BOUNCED BACK AIRBORNE, THE NEXT TOUCHDOWN WAS FLAT. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP AND THE PILOT FELT SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FRONT WHEEL. THE PILOT NOTIFIED TOWER AND GROUND CREWS TOWED THE AIRCRAFT FROM THE RUNWAY. MAINTENANCE DETERMINED THAT THE PROPELLER HAD STRUCK THE GROUND; THE NOSE WHEEL SPLIT IN HALF, THE NOSE GEAR STRUT WAS PUSHED UP INTO THE NOSE GEAR WHEEL WELL CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE COWL AND NOSE GEAR STRUT. ADDITIONAL DAMAGE WAS NOTED TO BENT ENGINE MOUNTS. SINCE THE INCIDENT THE PILOT HAS RECEIVED ADDITIONAL TRAINING IN A CE172RG FOCUSING ON TRAFFIC PATTERN AND COMPLEX AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS TOTALING 3.1 HOURS.

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.
