## Narrative

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

(-23)^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WERE ON A MEI TRAINING LIGHT. THEY INFORMED TOWER THAT THEY WANTED A TOUCH AND GO AFTER THEIR APPROACH. POWER WAS REDUCED FOR THE APPROACH AND ON VERY SHORT FINAL THE A/C BEGAN TO DESCEND VERY FAST.^PRIVACY DATA^BEGAN THE ADDITION OF POWER AND THE A/C LANDED FIRMLY.^PRIVACY DA^STATED THAT IT LANDED HARD BUT DID NOT SEEM EXCESSIVE. A TOUCH AND GO WAS INITIATED WITH A NORMAL TRAFFIC PATTERN BACK TO A FULL STOP LANDING. ALL CHECKS WERE ACCOMPLISHED WITH NORMAL INDICATIONS. THEY TAXIED BACK TO COMAIR PARKING. THE LANDING GEAR WAS INSPECTED AT THAT TIME AND DISCOVERED THE DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR.

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.
