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: on October 3, 1995, while conducting a local instructional flight at Brunswick Nas (nhz)in Cessna N704YH, the student pilot failed to shallow the rate of descent, along with failing to add power when the CFI instructed him to do so. The aircraft, belonging to the bnas flying club, made a hard landing, bounced into the air where the CFI added full power just before the aircraft touched down on the runway for a second time, and finally became airborne on a go-around. The CFI flew the aircraft around the pattern and performed a soft field landing in case there was any damage they hadn't observed on their downwind in-flight inspection. They proceeded to the ramp/tie downs, shut off the ELT and fuel, noticed cowling damage and wrote up the aircraft for the club mechanic's review. There were no injuries to either the student or CFI and the aircraft received minor damage. Weather was good VFR - not a factor. Bnas safety office, bnas flying club mechanic, and NE-FSDO-05 airworthiness inspector performed the aircraft inspection and determined it not to be substantial damage, therefore, making it an incident. privacy data omitted This investigation is closed.
