What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The pilot was practicing touch and go landings in the airport pattern. On her fourth approach she stated that the aircraft was trimmed for an approximate 60-65 knot approach. She believes the aircraft touched down on all three landing gear then began to porpoise. She applied partial power to attempt a recovery which aggravated the oscillations. She eventually got the aircraft airborne but was experiencing severe vibrations. She elected to return to the runway for a full stop landing. She called the tower who had by then all ready notified the FBO of the situation.
