## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: MULTIENGINE STUDENT WAS RECEIVING INSTRUCTION IN THE AIRCRAFT. ON SHORT FINAL, INSTRUCTOR NOTED AIRSPEED LOW. HE TELLS THE STUDENT TO ADD POWER. THE STUDENT RETARDS THROTTLES TO IDLE. BEFORE INSTRUCTOR CAN CORRECT MISTAKE, THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE RUNWAY ON NOSE WHEEL AND RIGHT MAIN. THE RIGHT PROPELLER STRUCK THE RUNWAY CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT WERE COUNSELED. NO FURTHER ACTION DEEMED NECESSARY. INCIDENT CLOSED.

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.
