What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: on March 14, 1995 at approximately 1142 PST, a Cessna 152, N5151B, operated by nice air, porpoised and bent the nose gear upon landing at reid-hillview of santa clara county airport, CA during a local flight. The pilot in command, Mr. Hiroshige ishino, who holds a student certificate, departed reid-hillview at approximately 1137 PDT. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. Mr. Hiroshige was completing the first of a series of planned take-offs and landings. He either waited too long to flare, or did not flare for the landing. The result was a series of oscillations culminating in the nose gear collapsing and the propeller striking the ground. Damage was limited to the right wing tip, the propeller, the nose gear, and a probable broken crankshaft in the engine. Determined to be an incident. No pilot deviation or 8020-11 generated. This terminates the investigation and the report is closed.
