From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23)This hard landing was after the fact, investigated by privacy data omitted (NE-FSDO001) who determined the damage was not sufficient to be considered an accident. Damage confined to the propeller and nose landing gear, no injuries. Information from others who had contact with the tow occupants of Piper N8146A is that the aircraft was being flown by privacy data omitted with passenger and also a private pilot husband privacy data omitted. On landing the aircraft began to bounce at which time the passenger/pilot husband took over control of the aircraft and recovered control.

This writer did not investigate the incident other than to compile the information in this report.
