What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On mar 3, 2017 at appx 1830 hours local a Cessna 162 reg# N3028G, ser# 16200095 was being operated as a 14 CFR 91 personal flight locally at cantrell field, Conway, AR (cxw) in visual meterological conditions. The sport rated pilot landed post runway midpoint and entered the grass immediately upon turning onto the last taxiway. The aircraft was unable to re-enter the taxiway so the pilot throttled down the engine and exited the acft to inspect the situation. Upon attempting to push the acft back unto the taxiway the pilot noted the free wheeling nosegear was canted against the concrete preventing the acft from rolling back onto the taxiway. He walked toward the nose to get a better view and encountered the prop. The prop stopped on contact. He received deep gashes to his torso and right thight but did not lose conciousness. The sole passenger, his minor son, called 911. The pilot was airlifted to a little rock hospital where he underwent succesful surgery and is recovering at home. Due to the sudden prop stop the engine is undergoing a precautionary teardown inspection.
