## Narrative

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

ON JUNE 19, 2021, AT 0900 MDT, N505RV, A VANS RV-7, A SINGLE ENGINE PISTON ENGINE EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^WAS ON THE LANDING ROLLOUT ON RUNWAY 04 AT DOUBLE EAGLE II AIRPORT (KAEG) WHEN THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE RUNWAY SURFACE. N505RV HAD JUST COMPLETED AN UNEVENTFUL LOCAL FLIGHT FROM DOUBLE EAGLE II AIRPORT (KAEG). NO FLIGHT PLAN WAS FILED. VFR CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT KAEG. THE PRIVATE PILOT AND SINGLE PASSENGER WERE NOT INJURED. N505RV SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE.

A PROPELLER STRIKE OCCURRED AFTER LANDING AS N505RV WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE RUNWAY TO EXPEDITE ITS EXIT FROM THE RUNWAY (PILOT ESTIMATED HIS GROUND SPEED AROUND 20 KNOTS) FROM THE PILOT'S PERCEPTION THAT THE KAEG ATC CONTROLLER WANTED HIM OFF THE RUNWAY "IMMEDIATELY"; THE ATC CONTROLLER ACTUALLY TOLD THE PILOT TO "EXIT THE RUNWAY AS SOON AS WAS PRACTICAL". THE PILOT BRAKED HARD TO SLOW DOWN WHEN EXITING AT THE FIRST AVAILABLE TAXIWAY. THIS HARD BRAKING RESULTED IN THE TAILWHEEL AIRCRAFT NOSING FORWARD, STRIKING THE PROPELLER. THE PLANE THEN ROTATED TO THE LEFT AND CAME TO REST WITH THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR AND TAILWHEEL OFF THE PAVEMENT AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY.

THE PILOT WAS RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE HE

FAILED TO TAXI AT A SLOWER/MORE PRUDENT SPEED IN HIS EFFORT TO "PLEASE" THE ATC CONTROLLER IN THE TOWER WITH AN EXPEDITIOUS EXIT OF THE LANDING RUNWAY.

THE PILOT WAS COUNSELED BY THIS FAA ASI CONCERNING TAXIING AT SLOWER/MORE REASONABLE SPEEDS AND NOT TRYING TO PLEASE ATC AT THE EXPENSE OF SAFETY.

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.
