## Narrative

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

(-23) THE FIRST OFFICER FLEW THE INITIAL PORTION OF AN ILS APPROACH TO RUNWAY 9L AT SFB, FLORIDA. AT DH WHEN THE FLYING PILOT INDICATED THAT HE DID OT HAVE THE RUNWAY IN SIGHT, IN LIEU OF A GO-AROUND, THE CAPTAIN ELECTED TO ATTEMPT A RECOVERY OF MISALIGNMENT WITH RUNWAY 9L. THE ATTEMPT REQUIRED AN EXCESSIVE BANK ANGLE CAUSING THE LEFT WING TO STRIKE THE RUNWAY. IN ADDITION TO THE IMPACTED LEFT WING, THE CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY OF THE LEFT MAIN GEAR WAS EXTREMELY ABRUPT RESULTING IN A DECISION TO GO-AROUND. THE TRANSFER OF THE FLIGHT CONTROLS FOR RUNWAY RE-ALIGNMENT AT A CRITICAL ALTITUDE WAS POOR JUDGEMENT. THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THIS INCIDENT WAS THE UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO LAND UNDER UNSTABLE CONDITIONS.

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.
