## Narrative

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

(-23) ON JUNE 23, 2000, AT APPROX. 09:10 AM CDT, N4919G, A CESSNA 172 OPERATED BY A FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT PILOT, WAS PRACTICING TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS ON RUNWAY 18 AT THE GREENVILLE, ILLINOIS AIRPORT. THE STUDENT PILOT, WHO HAD BEEN MANIPULATING THE AIRCRAFT CONTROLS FOR THESE MANUEVERS, HAD PERFORMED SEVERAL TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS WITHOUT THE NEED FOR INTERVENTION BY THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR. AT APPROX. 10:00 AM CDT, THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR DISEMBARKED THE AIRCRAFT, CHECKED THE PREVAILING WINDS, AND ENDORSED THE STUDENTS CERTIFICATE FOR SOLO FLIGHT. THEREAFTER, THE STUDENT PILOT TOOK OFF ON RUNWAY 18 AT GREENVILLE, AND FLEW THE TRAFFIC PATTERN FOR APPROACH AND LANDING ON THE SAME RUNWAY. DURING THE LANDING, THE STUDENT PILOT BOUNCED THE AIRCRAFT ON THE RUNWAY WHICH RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT NOSE WHEEL, FIREWALL, AND PROPELLER TIPS. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED DURING THIS EVENT.

## 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 CHI00LA169](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI00LA169), Jun 23, 2000: Cessna 172N (N4919G), Greenville, IL, substantial damage. Probable cause: the student pilot failed to properly flare the airplane while landing. A factor associated with the accident was the student pilot's lack of total experience.
