## Narrative

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

DURING TOUCHDOWN, THE PILOT STATED THAT HE ENCOUNTERED A DUSTDEVIL DURING LANDING WHICH BROUGHT THE NOSE OF THE AIRPLANE DOWN FURTHER THAN USUAL. THE PILOT ALSO CLAIMED THAT THE HIGH CROWN OF THE RUNWAY, CAUSED THE PROPELLER TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE GROUND, SHAVING 1/16 TO 1/8 OF AN INCH OFF THE TIPS OF THE PROPELLER. THE PILOT DID NOT FEEL ANY FEEDBACK AND DID NOT KNOW A PROP STRIKE HAD OCCURRED. HE HOT LOADED CHEMICAL AFTER LANDING, AND COMMENCED AERIAL APPLICATION OPERATIONS. HE RETURNED TO HIS HOME AIRPORT (HILL CITY, KS) TO DISCOVER DAMAGE AFTER SHUTDOWN.

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.
