## Narrative

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

(.4) THE AIRPLANE, A LAKE LA-4, WAS STANDING WITH THE ENGINE OPERATING NEAR THE AIRPORT REFUELING FACILITY. ACCORDING TO THE PILOT OF ANOTHER AIRPLANE, A CESSNA 170A, HE HAD INTENDED TO MAKE A FULL STOP LANDING; HOWEVER, WHILE ON FINAL APPROACH HE REALIZED THAT HE WAS TOO HIGH AND PERFORMED A GO-AROUND. HE THEN APPROACHED THE RUNWAY A SECOND TIME WITH THE INTENT OF EXECUTING A FULL STALL LANDING. HE STATED THAT THE SECOND APPROACH WAS A LITTLE HIGH. THE MAIN LANDING GEAR WHEELS TOUCHED DOWN FIRST, AND THE CESSNA BOUNCED, CAME DOWN AGAIN, AND BEGAN TO VEER TO THE LEFT OF THE RUNWAY CENTERLINE. THE PILOT APPLIED FULL POWER; HOWEVER, HE WAS UNABLE TO REGAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE CESSNA OR ATTAIN A CLIMB. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE CESSNA'S RIGHT WING CONTACTED THE RIGHT WING OF THE LAKE. THE CESSNA THEN IMPACTED STEEL POSTS THAT SURROUNDED THE AIRPORT REFUELING FACILITY AND CAME TO A STOP UPRIGHT ALONG AN EMBANKMENT. (.19) SEE NTSB #FTW02LA024B (SAME NARRATIVE AS .4)

## NTSB investigation

None matched to this report by aircraft and date. Search the NTSB's own records: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/basic-search

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.
