## Narrative

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

(.19) ON AUGUST 30, 2001, AT 1116 CDT, A CESSNA 182-RG, N9984C, WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED WHEN THE AIRCRAFT LANDED HARD AT MANHATTAN MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, MANHATTAN, KANSAS WHILE ON AN INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT. THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT AND THE STUDENT WERE NOT INJURIED. VISUAL METEOROLOGTICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AND THE FLIGHT WAS NOT ON A FLIGHT PLAN. (-23) THE CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR TOOK CONTROLS, STATING THAT HE HAD "THE AIRPLANE". MR. STEPP THEN DEMONSTRATED A POWER OFF APPROACH AND LANDING THAT RESULTED IN A HARD LANDING THAT COLLAPSED THE NOSE GEAR AND CAUSED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.

## 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.
