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: the CFI & pre-solo student (student is registered owner) were approaching K34'S rwy 08. Several 50 gal barrels, cut in half & painted orange & white, are placed approx. 10 feet prior to the end of rwy 08 (round side up). CFI stated that the student's approach appeared normal, with a/s 70 mph & flaps 30. However, the CFI allowed the student to touchdown approx. 15 feet short of the rwy. The right main tire struck one of the 1/2 barrels, which in turn struck the leading edge of the right horizontal stabilizer, causing denting & skin tears. The airplane bounced, at which point the CFI took the controls & completed the landing. privacy data omitted This incident, #CE96IGA0129, is closed.
