## Narrative

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

^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WAS IN THE TOWER PATTERN FOR RWY 3. THE AIRCRAFT WAS CLEARED FOR THE OPTION RWY 3. UPON TOUCHING DOWN THE AIRCRAFT LOST CONTROL AND EXITED THE RWY ON THE LEFT SIDE, AROUND THE INTERSECTION OF RWY 9/27 AND RWY 3. AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF RWY 3 IN THE GRASS. AIRPORT OPS REPORTED DAMAGE TO THE NOSE WHEEL, PUNCTURE IN THE RIGHT WING FROM AN EDGE LIGHT, PROP STRIKE, AND THE RIGHT WING SCRAPPED THE PAVEMENT.

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.
