## Narrative

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

(-23) THIS WAS THE FIRST FLIGHT OF THIS HOMEBUILT AIRCRAFT. THE PILOT TOOK OFF FROM THE LAKEVILLE AIRPORT AND CLIMBED TO APPROXIMATELY 3000 FT. AT THIS ALTITUDE HE PERFORMED DIFFERENT MANUEVERS TO MAKE SURE ALL CONTROLS WERE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. AFTER BEING SATISFIED THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS PERFORMING AS PLANNED HE MADE HIS FIRST ATTEMPT AT LANDING. DURING THE APPROACH TO THE RUNWAY THE AIRCRAFT SINK RATE WAS FASTER THEN HE EXPECTED AND THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SHORT. THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE 1200 FT. MALSR TOWER AND ALSO THE 600 FT MALSR TOWER. THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND STRUCK TWO TAXI LIGHTS. THE PILOT BROUGHT THE AIRCRAFT TO A HALT AND TAXIED OFF THE RUNWAY AND BACK TO HIS HANGAR.

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.
