## Narrative

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

DESCRIPTION:  ON 11/09/2020 AT 0118Z, N3265C WAS INBOUND FOR LANDING AT JYO AIRPORT.  DURING LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED MULTIPLE TIMES AND PARTIALLY COLLAPSED THE NOSE LANDING GEAR BEFORE COMING TO A STOP ON THE RUNWAY.  INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE AIRCRAFT WAS AIRWORTHY AT THE TIME BUT THE PIC DID NOT MEET NIGHT LANDING CURRENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR CARRYING PASSENGERS.  SUCH OPERATION IS CONTRARY TO 14 CFR §61.57.

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.
