## Narrative

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

ON MAY 31,2021, DURING LANDING AT OKV N2433S HIT HARD AND BOUNCED CAUSING THE FIREWALL TO WRINKLE AND THE NOSE TIRE TO BULGE OUT.  NO OTHER DAMAGE NOTED. THE FAA WAS NOTIFIED JUNE 1,2021.

NO ONE WAS HURT.

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.
