Narrative

I ARRIVED AT ZZZ TO MEET A FRIEND TO GO PLEASURE FLYING. IN LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO PARK PLANE OFF OF ANY TXWY; I CHOSE TO PARK IN GRASS AREA. AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND SHUTTING DOWN ENG; THE NOSEWHEEL FELL INTO A HOLE ABOUT 14 INCHES IN DIAMETER AND 6-8 INCHES DEEP. WHEN IT DID SO; THE PROP HIT SANDY GND AND STOPPED. I INSPECTED PROP AND FOUND ONLY A LITTLE MARKING FROM THE SAND. PLANE WAS MOVED OUT OF HOLE; PUT BACK ON ASPHALT AND STARTED. NO APPARENT DAMAGE FOUND. I THEN PUT IT INTO A HANGAR AND ARRANGED TO HAVE A MECH INSPECT IT. UPON INSPECTION; IT WAS RPTED NO ENG DAMAGE. I THEN TAXIED IT TO A PROP SHOP WHERE THE PROP IS CURRENTLY BEING OVERHAULED. I SUGGEST SIGNS BE POSTED THAT GRASS AREAS NOT BE USED BY ACFT OR THE ENTIRE AREA BE INSPECTED AND HOLES BE FILLED AND GRADED OUT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE PLT IS USED TO PARKING ON GRASS AT HOME BASE. THIS PLT THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO PARK; EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A PAVED TRANSIT PARKING. GRASS LOCATION IS NOT SIGNED AT ALL; MEANING; NOT DESIGNATED AS ACFT PARKING. AN FAA INSPECTOR CONTACTED THE PLT ABOUT THE INCIDENT. AFTER THE PLT EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE PLT ALLEGED THE INSPECTOR LOST INTEREST. THE PLT IS CONCERNED THAT THERE ARE NO SIGNS SPECIFYING THAT THERE ARE POT HOLES IN THE GRASS.
