## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS ON A PERSONAL FROM TAYLOR, TEXAS AIRPORT (T-74) TO CAMERON, TEXAS AIRPORT (T-35) AND THEN TO BRENHAM, TEXAS AIRPORT (11R) WITH NO LANDINGS  RETURNING BACK TO TAYLOR, TEXAS AIRPORT (T-74). WEATHER EN ROUTE WAS CLEAR AND SMOOTH ABOVE 3500' ALTITUDE.

PILOT MADE A NORMAL APPROACH FOR LANDING RUNWAY 17 IN TAYLOR. WIND WAS LIGHT ESTIMATED AT SIX MILES PER HOUR FROM A HEADING OF 290 DEGREES. UPON FLARING TO LAND PILOT ENCOUNTERED A GUST OF WIND JUST PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN AND  LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE  AIRCRAFT THEN VEERED SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT AND NOSED OVER AND EXITED THE RUNWAY. PILOT WAS NOT INJURED. THERE WAS NO POST CRASH FIRE.

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.
