## Narrative

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

THE ACCIDENT FLIGHT WAS AN AERIAL 0BSERVATION COMPANY OPERATING UNDER FAA PART 91. AFTER COMPLETING THEIR NIGHT SHIFT, THE PILOT LANDED AT KINGMAN AIRPORT AT 3:45AM. DURING THE LANDING ROLLOUT THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE EXPERIENCED A FLAT NOSE TIRE. AFTER COMING TO A STOP, THE PILOT ASKED THE CAMERA OPERATOR TO STEP OUT AND SEE IF THE TIRE WAS FLAT. THE CAMERA OPERATOR CONFIRMED THE FLAT TIRE AND MADE MOVEMENTS AROUND THE FRONT OF THE AIRCRAFT TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE PILOT WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. THE CAMERA OPERATOR WAS THEN STRUCK BY THE PROPELLOR RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY TO HIS SHOULDER AND BACK. HE WAS TRANSPORTED FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION AND IS EXPECTED TO RECOVER.
