## Narrative

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

(-23) ON OCTOBER 8, 2001, AT APPROXIMATELY 1302 MOUNTAIN DAYLIGHT TIME, A CESSNA 172N, N2364F, WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED WHEN IT LANDED HARD ON THE RUNWAY AT KCOS. THE STUDENT PILOT WAS THE SOLE OCCUPANT AND WAS NOT INJURED. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED FOR THIS LOCAL FLIGHT BEING CONDUCTED UNDER 14 CFR PART 91. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS PERFORMING TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS AND THAT HIS FIRST APPROACH WAS FAST AND THAT THE INITIAL FLARE WAS NOT ENOUGH. THE AIRCRAFT HIT THE RUNWAY, NOSE LANDING GEAR FIRST, BOUNCED ONCE, AND THEN SETTLED TO THE RUNWAY.

## 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.

- [NTSB DEN02LA001](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DEN02LA001), Oct 8, 2001: Cessna 172N (N2364E), Colo Springs, CO, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's inadequate landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing. A contributing factor was the pilot's excessive airspeed on final approach.
