## Narrative

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

GREENSBORO, NC: N3717W A PIPER PA32 S/N 32-630 WAS DOING PATTERN WORK.  THE PILOT WAS CLEARED TO LAND RUNWAY 5R.  THE GSO TOWER SAID IT APPEARED N3717W LANDED HARD AND BOUNCED ON THE RUNWAY THEN STOPPED ON THE RUNWAY.  THE LOCAL CONTROLLER ASKED THE PILOT IF HE WAS ALRIGHT.  THE PILOT SAID HE THOUGHT HE MAY HAVE BLOWN A TIRE.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED TO THE RAMP DUE TO THE BLOWN TIRE AND DAMAGED TO THE NOSE LANDING GEAR AND PROPELLER.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

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.
