## Narrative

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

^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS ON A NORMAL APPROACH TO  LANDING AT FALL CITY AIRPORT. HE SAID THAT DUE TO THE SHORTER WINGSPAN OF THIS MODEL OF AIRCRAFT, THE APPROACH IS NORMALLY CONDUCTED WITH THE NOSE AT AN INCREASED ANGLE, REDUCING THE FORWARD VISIBILITY ON APPROACH. HE MISJUDGED THE TOUCHDOWN POINT AND LANDED LONG. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED THE LANDING ROLL OFF OF THE END OF THE RUNWAY INTO THE WET GRASS AND MUD.

THE NOSE GEAR SUNK INTO THE MUD CAUSING THE LINKAGE TO BEND AND THE PROPELLER TO STRIKE THE MUD BENDING THE BLADES.
