## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT PORPOISED ON LANDING. PROP HIT RUNWAY. AIRMAN THOUGHT HE WAS HIGH COMING IN AND PROBABLY GAINED AIRSPEED ON APPROACH. DURING PORPOISE ADDED POWER AND REGAINED CONTROL OF AIRCRAFT. AIRMAN SOLO PRIVILEGES SUSPENDED PENDING FURTHER TRAINING ON APPROACH AND LANDING. THIS IS TO BE FOLLOWED BY NEW SOLO ENDORSEMENT AND REINSTATEMENT OF SOLO PRIVILEGES FROM THIS OFFICE.

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.
