## Narrative

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

ON JULY 23, 2021 N274SR ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^WAS LANDING ON RUNWAY 05R IN KNOXVILLE, TN. (TYS). UPON LANDING, HIT HARD ON NOSE AND BOUNCED 2-3 TIMES.  ATIS WINDS REPORTED VARIABLE @ 4-5 KNOTS AT THE TIME.  AFTER TAXI TO FBO, LINEMAN POINTED OUT NOSE WHEEL COWLING DAMAGE. N274SR WAS INSPECTED BY ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AT TYS TO FIND NO OTHER DAMAGE OTHER THAN THE NOSE WHEEL, NOSE WHEEL COWLING AND NOSE GEAR TUBE/STRUT. NO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, NO PROP STRIKE REPORTED. PILOT STATES THAT HE BELIEVES HE CAUGHT A QUARTERING TAILWIND CAUSING THE PORPOISING WHICH CAUSED THE DAMAGE. THE 12 MONTHS LEADING UP TO THE INCIDENT FLIGHT THE PILOT LOGGED ONLY 16 HOURS. THE 6 MONTHS LEADING UP TO THE INCIDENT FLIGHT THE PILOT HAD LOGGED .9 FLIGHT HOURS. THIS LEADS THIS INSPECTOR TO RECOMMEND ADDITIONAL TRAINING FOR ROBERT FRANK WHITE, PILOT OF N274SR, WITH EMPHASIS ON LANDINGS, CROSSWIND LANDINGS AND INSTRUMENT WORK AS THE PILOT HAS NO LOGGED ACTUAL INSTRUMENT TIME AND VERY LITTLE SIMULATED INSTRUMENT TIME IN THE PROVIDED LOGBOOK. COUNSEL REPRESENTING ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AGREES WITH THE RECOMMENDATION. N274SR IS DOWN FOR REPAIRS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AS PARTS ARE BACKORDERED. HOWEVER, THIS TRAINING WILL BE CONDUCTED IN N274SR WHEN BACK UP AND FLYING. THIS IS CONSIDERED AN INCIDENT.

ADDITIONAL TRAINING WAS CONDUCTED WITH ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, A CIRRUS INSTRUCTOR AND DPE IN KNOXVILLE, TN. THE TRAINING BEGAN IN AUGUST 24, 2021 AND CONCLUDED ON OCTOBER 26, 2021 DUE TO WEATHER DELAYS AND THE DELAY IN PARTS TO REPAIR THE AIRCRAFT. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ SATISFACTORY COMPLETED THE ADDITIONAL TRAINING PROVIDED BY ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AND A LETTER IS ATTACHED TO THE SAS ACTIVITY 1749. THE ASSOCIATED I.D.'S ARE:

TASK # T-CE19-FY21-0375

CE19202200866

CE19202200201

A-CE-19-21-027

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.
