## Narrative

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

ON ROLLOUT AFTER LANDING ON A PRIVATE GRASS STRIP (AL34) THE AIRCRAFTS RIGHT LANDING GEAR HIT A SMALL SHRUB AND JERKED TO AIRCRAFT TO THE RIGHT INTO A SMALL DITCH CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO PROPELLER AND RIGHT WING TIP.  PILOT AND PASSENGER UNINJURIED.

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.
