## Narrative

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

(-23) THIS WAS AN INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT, WITH THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR DEMOSTRATING A LANDING. UPON TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED AND VEERED TO THE LEFT. THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A DITCH, WHICH TORE THE ALNDING GEAR OFF AND DAMAGED A WING TIP. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND DID NOT HAVE THE REQUIRED 3 TAKEOFFS AND ALNDINGS WITHIN THE LAST 90 DAYS.

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.
