## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS RETURNING FROM A PARACHUTE DROP AND WAS PREPARING TO LAND.  PILOT REALIZED THAT HE WAS TOO HIGH ON THE APPROACH SO HE REDUCED POWER.  UPON LANDING THE  AIRCRAFT HIT THE RUNWAY HARD AND BOUNCED. DAMAGE TO RIGHT MAIN SCISSOR GEAR ALLOWED THE STRUT AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO LEAVE THE AIRCRAFT.

THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST ON THE STRUT HOUSING DIGGING INTO THE GRASSY RUNWAY SIDE AFTER SPINNING THE AIRCRAFT NINETY DEGREES TO THE RIGHT.
