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

ON AUGUST 6, 2026, 1740Z WHILE LANDING AT KMOD AIRPORT, THE AIRCRAFT LANDED A BIT FLAT AND CAUSED AIRCRAFT TO BOUNCE.  THIS REPEATED ABOUT 3-4 TIMES GETING MORE AGGRESSIVE, CAUSING THE NOSE STRUT TO FAIL. THIS LED TO THE PROPELLOR HITTING THE GROUND. THE PILOT WAS UNINJURED.

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.
