## Narrative

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

^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ LANDED ON RUNWAY 24 AND NOSE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED ON TOUCHDOWN.  THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO PROPELLER, NOSE LANDING GEAR DOORS AND PROPELLER SPINNER.  NO APPARENT DAMAGE TO AIRFRAME.

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.
