## Narrative

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

ON AUGUST 26TH, 2025, THIS AIRCRAFT WAS USED FOR A SOLO CROSS-COUNTRY FLIGHT, DEPARTING FROM KOSH, LANDING AT KEZS, AND THEN RETURNING TO KOSH. THE LANDING ON RUNWAY 36 AT KOSH WAS EXECUTED INTO A MINOR HEADWIND. THE PILOT INDICATED THAT THE LANDING WAS SLIGHTLY HARDER THAN IDEAL. THE PILOT TAXIED AS DIRECTED BY THE TOWER TO ALPHA, LEFT ON 31, AND HELD SHORT OF 27. UPON RECEIVING CLEARANCE TO CROSS 27, THE PILOT CONTINUED TO BRAVO 3. AT THIS POINT IN THE OPERATION, A GRINDING SOUND WAS HEARD FROM BENEATH THE PLANE, ACCOMPANIED BY RESISTANCE TO TAXIING. THE PILOT CONTACTED THE TOWER TO REQUEST A SHUTDOWN ON TAXIWAY B3. MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL WERE CONTACTED AND SUBSEQUENTLY TOWED THE AIRCRAFT BACK TO THE HANGAR. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED, AND THE AIRPORT CREW CONFIRMED THAT NO DAMAGE TO THE RUNWAY OCCURRED. IT IS NOTED THAT THERE WAS A BOUNCE DURING A LANDING AT KFLD EARLIER IN THE DAY, ALTHOUGH NO APPARENT DAMAGE WAS OBSERVED AT THAT TIME. THE AIRCRAFT UNDERWENT A THOROUGH PREFLIGHT INSPECTION BY THE PILOT.

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.
