## Narrative

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

APPROACH TO 21R WAS DESCRIBED BY THE PILOT IN AN INTERVIEW AFTER THAT ACCIDENT AS HIGH AND FAST AND HE WAS TRYING TO GET LOWER AND SLOWER.  SAID HE WAS SURPRISED WHEN HE HIT THE GROUND HARD.  NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AND PROPELL STRUCK 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.
