## Narrative

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

(-23) AT THE CONCLUSION OF A VFR FLIGHT CONDUCTED ON AN INSTRUMENT FLIGHT PLAN, THE PILOT WAS VECTORED BY NELLIS APPROACH FOR A RIGHT DOWNWIND RUNWAY 7 AT 6300' MSL (FIELD ELEVATION: 2203). THE TOWER CLEARED N96KB TO LAND ON RUNWAY 7.  PILOT THEN ANNOUNCED HE WAS TOO HIGH AND "GOING AROUND".  HE WAS INSTRUCTED THEN TO MAKE LEFT TRAFFIC FOR RUNWAY 7, BUT INSTEAD FLEW A LEFTHAND 360 DEG. TURN WEST OF THE THRESHOLD.  HE WAS ONCE AGAIN CLEARED TO LAND RUNWAY 7.  WITH THE FLAPS NOT YET EXTENDED, N96KB LANDED FLAT, HOT AND HARD ON THE MAIN WHEELS AND BOUNCED HIGH.  AT THIS POINT THE PILOT HEARD A WARNING HORN COME ON.  HIS RESPONSE WAS TO ADD POWER AND EXTEND THE FLAPS.  THE AIRCRAFT MADE A SECOND, HARD THREE-POINT LANDING FOLLOWED BY 6 OR 7 MORE BOUNCES.  ON THE LAST BOUNCE THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE AIRCRAFT SKIDDED SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET TO A POINT 50-60 FEET FROM THE END OF THE 5000' RUNWAY.

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.
