## Narrative

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

ON MARCH 26, 2017, AT 1600 MST, A CESSNA 120, N89978, REGISTERED TO ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AFTER LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER STRIKING THE PROPELLER ON THE TAXI WAY AFTER EXITING THE RUNWAY. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME AND A VFR FLIGHT PLAN WAS NOT FILED. THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED. THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED AT MID VALLEY AIRPORT (E98) FOR A LOCAL PERSONAL FLIGHT.

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.
