## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS PRACTICING LANDINGS. HE DIVERTED EAST SO ANOTHER AIRCRAFT COULD LAND. HE THEN TURNED TO APPROACH RUNWAY 23. THE AIRCRAFT THEN TOUCHED DOWN GEAR UP HITTING BOTH PROPS AND SKID DOWN THE RUNWAY.

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.
