From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Narrative: Mr. Storz was giving a rental checkout to private pilot, jeffrey d. rempala. On the approach to land on runway 32, the aircraft touched down short of the runway. Mr. Storz took over the controls and pulled the aircraft back into the air, bouncing to the edge of the pavement of runway 32. Mr. Storz then regained control of the aircraft, adding power and pulling the aircraft back into the air and finally landing on the remaining runway. Upon taxiing off of the runway the nosewheel collapsed. This occurrence was initially reported as an accident, however, on-scene investigation by an experienced IA revealed only minor damage. The report was downgraded to an incident on 3/22/94. This incident is considered closed.privacy data omitted
