## Narrative

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

ON SITE INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT ALL 5 COMPOSITE PROP BLADES WERE NICELY SHORTENED ABOUT ONE INCH BY CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY SURFACE. NO DAMAGE TO THE NOSE TIRE, WHEEL OR LANDING GEAR WERE NOTED, AND NO MARKINGS ON THE NOSE TIRE WERE NOTED, INDICATING NO HARD LANDING OVERLOAD HAD OCCURRED. ALL AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS WERE CURRENT. NO PASSENGERS WERE ON BOARD, JUST THE PIC.

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.
