## Narrative

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

UPON LANDING THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED SEVERAL TIMES THEN AND CAME DOWN ON THE NOSE GEAR. THE NOSE GEAR WHEEL BROKE OFF, AND THE PROPELLER IMPACTED THE RUNWAY AND WAS DAMAGED. THERE WAS NO FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT OTHER THAN THE NOSE GEAR AND THE PROPELLER.

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.
