## Narrative

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

(-23) ON OCTOBER 27, 2000, AT ABOUT 1745 HOURS ALASKA STANDARD TIME, AN AVIAT-A-1 AIRPLANE, N33AV RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE DURING A LANDING AT LAKE HOOD STRIP, AT ANCHORAGE ALASKA. THE AIRMAN STATED THAT WHILE TOUCHING DOWN, SHE HAD A BAD BOUNCE AND IMMEDIATELY ADDED POWER TO GO AROUND. HER HESITATION IN APPLYING RIGHT RUDDER TO COUNTERACT THE LEFT TURNING TENDENCY ALLOWED THE AIRCRAFT TO TAKE A PATH TO THE RIGHT OF THE RUNWAY WHERE SHE STRUCK THE AIRPORT WIND SOCK. THE AIRMAN CONTINUED AROUND THE PATTERN AND LANDED THE AIRCRAFT WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE PILOT AND PASSENGER WERE UNINJURED. INFORMATION FROM THE AIRPORTS BRANCH INDICATED THAT THE WIND SOCK WAS LOCATED IN THE PROPER AREA, AND OUTSIDE THE OBJECT FREE ZONE.

## 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.
