What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On may 21, 1999, at 1345 central daylight time, a Cessna TU206C airplane, N29096, was substantially damaged while landing at a private strip near West, Texas. The airplane was owned by the ram aircraft corporation of waco, TX, and operated by a private individual. The private pilot, sole occupant of the airplane, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the 14 code of federal regulations (CFR) part 91 personal glight and a flight plan was not filed. The local flight originated from the waco regional airport, waco, TX, at 1330. According to the 440 hour pilot, he was in a right traffic pattern for the 1,600 foot turf runway. He had had extended 30 degrees of flaps during the traffic pattern. The pilot stated that he landed "a little flat," and airplane "bounced up." He applied power and the airplane bounced a second time. Subsequently, the airplane contacted the ground and nosed over, coming to a rest inverted. An FAA inspector examined the airplane at the site and stated that the horizontal stabilizer was structurally damaged and the right wing strut was damaged. He added that the nose landing gear separated from the airplane. (.4) the pilot lost control of the airplane after a bounced landing. The pilot maneuvered the airplane onto final approach with 30 degrees of flaps. Upon touchdown with the runway surface, the airplane `bounced slightly.' The airplane bounced again and the pilot advanced the throttle `half way.' The airplane `pitched upward and then immediately down, impacting the ground nose wheel first.' Subsequently, the nose landing gear separated from the airframe, and the airplane nosed over coming to rest inverted.
