## Narrative

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

DURING TAXI AFTER LANDING THE AIRCRAFT STOPPED CLEAR OF THE RUNWAY IN USE. THE AIRCRAFT TAIL CAME UP DUE TO GUSTY WINDS. THIS CAUSED THE NOSE TO DROP FAR ENOUGH TO STRIKE THE PROPELLER AND COWLING. DAMAGE WAS MINOR ISOLATED TO THE PROPELLER AND COWLING. NO OTHER DAMAGE WAS NOTED DURING THE INVESTIGATION. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE SOLE PILOT ON BOARD.

WINDS AT THE TIME WERE (FROM THE 1453Z OBSERVATION) 180 AT 20 GUSTING TO 25 KNOTS.

PILOT STATED THAT THE CONTROLS WHEN THE TAIL CAME UP WERE AT NEUTRAL TO SLIGHTLY AFT.
