## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: PILOT WAS PRACTICING LANDINGS WHEN INCIDENT OCCURRED. THREE LANDINGS WERE COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY AT 3 NOTCHES FLAP SETTING. THE FOURTH ATTEMPT AT LANDING WAS BEING DONE WITH FULL FLAPS. THE PILOT CUT POWER OVER THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT LOST AIRSPEED AND DROPPED TO THE RUNWAY. IT BOUNCED TWICE, THEN CAME DOWN ON THE NOSE GEAR CAUSING THE NOSE GEAR TO COLLAPSE. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED SKIDDING DOWN THE GRASS STRIP COMING TO REST AFTER 50 FT.

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.
