Thanks for all of the advice so far. Unfortunately, the plane is not at
"home". The damage was at a field in a neighboring state, so I haven't seen
it. The plane is not flyable. There was damage to the nose gear and a prop
strike. My partner is going to contact the insurance company, we'll see what
happens from here.

Another question: I read part 830 of the FAR, and I'm uncertain whether or
not we have to report it to the NTSB. Section 830.5 sounds as if we do not
have to report it, but section 830.15 seems contradictory. Can anyone help
me sort this out?


Since you won't tell us what happened I'll make the assumption that your
partner had a hard landing. That is not substantial damage and the NTSB
nor the FAA need to be informed. Looks like you'll be getting a new
prop or possibly repairing the damaged on, an engine teardown and
repairs to the nose gear and firewall.
