## Narrative

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

A STUDENT PILOT FLEW FROM RIVERSIDE AIRPORT, KRVS, TO MCALESTER AIRPORT, KMLC, ON OCTOBER 06, 2025.  DURING THE LANDING AT MCALESTER THE PILOT BOUNCED THE AIRCRAFT SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE LANDING.  DURING THAT PROCESS THE PILOT STRUCK THE RUNWAY WITH THE PROPELLER.  MINOR AIRCRAFT DAMAGE WAS REPORTED AND NO INJURIES.

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.
