(-23) ON FINAL APPROACH TO A PRACTICE SOFT FIELD LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT DEVELOPED AN EXCESSIVE SINK RATE.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB MIA98LA109](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA98LA109), Mar 27, 1998: Mooney M20J (N192ER), Daytona Beach, FL, substantial damage. Probable cause: the student's failure to maintain control of the airplane, and the CFI's inadequate supervision. A factor was that the CFI allowed the airplane's sink rate to get excessive during the approach.
