## Narrative

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

DURING THE LANDING PHASE OF FLIGHT AIRCRAFT BOUNCED ON TOUCHDOWN.  THE PILOT PUSHED THE NOSE DOWN AND AS THE FRONT OF THE PLANE CONTACTED THE GROUND AND THE FRONT LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED, DAMAGING THE LOWER COLW PROPELLER, SPINNER, AND ENGINE MOUNTS.

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.
