## Narrative

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

(-5)ON DECEMBER 02, 1998, DURING A TRAINING FLIGHT AT NIGHT WITH VFR CONDITIONS, A CESSNA 310R, N98947, REGISTERED TO SOUTH SUBURBAN AVIATION WAS BEING PILOTED BY JOHN WILK, A COMMERICAL PILOT WHO WAS BEING INSTRUCTED BY BRYAN WARD, THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED A HARD LANDING. MR. WARD STATES THAT WHILE PRACTICING NIGHT LANDINGS AT BOONE COUNTY AIRPORT AT HARRISON, ARKANSAS, HE REALIZED THAT MR. WILK WAS FLAIRING TOO HIGH DURING THE LANDING SEQUENCE AND TRIED TO CORRECT IT.  THE AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED A HARD LANDING, RESULTING IN THE COLLAPSE OF THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR, WHICH CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE LEFT FLAP AND THE LEFT PROPELLER.  THE TWO CREW MEMBERS SUFFERED NO INJURIES.  THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED AT FRANKFORT, ILL.

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.
