## Narrative

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

(-23) POOR LANDING TECHNIQUE BY THE PILOT COMBINED WITH LATE CORRECTION BY THE INSTRUCTOR CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. THIS WAS A PUBLIC AIRCRAFT AND AS SUCH, THE U.S. MARSHALLS OFFICE IS CONDUCTING ITS OWN INVESTIGATION. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB ANC00TA059](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC00TA059), May 19, 2000: Cessna 185F (N1789), Anchorage, AK, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's improper remedial action and his failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during landing. A factor in the accident was the pilot's excessive use of the airplane brakes.

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.
