## Narrative

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

DURING TOUCHDOWN THE STUDENT PILOT PLACED THE AIRCRAFT IN AN EXTREME NOSE-DOWN POSITION CAUSING THE NOSE TIRE TO FLATTEN OUT AND THE PROPELLER TO STRIKE THE PAVED RUNWAY. NO INJURIES AND NO DAMAGE TO AIRPORT PROPERTY

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.
