## Narrative

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

THE PIC EXPEDITED AN APPROACH AT THE REQUEST OF THE TOWER WHILE ON LEFT DOWNWIND FOR RUNWAY 12. THE PILOT HAD TOO HIGH OF AIRSPEED ON TOUCH DOWN AND PORPISED, BOUNCING HARD AFTER THE INITIAL TOUCH DOWN. THE PIC INITIATED A GO AROUND AND ON THE SECOND LANDING THE PILOT NOTICED THAT THE NOSE GEAR WAS DAMAGED AND WAS DRAGGING. THE PILOT SHUT DOWN THE AIRCRAFT ON THE TAXI WAY WHEN THE DRAGGING BECAME MORE SEVERE.

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.
