What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On 01/19/02 at 1550 EST, a CE-150L attempted to land at Crystal River airport on r/w 27. The student pilot was in the final phase of landing, approx. 15' and descending on the runway when a gust of wind gave lift and blew the aircraft up & to the right. The aircraft drifted to the right, then the student pilot was unable to keep the aircraft nose up. The aircraft stalled then hit the runway with the nose landing gear. The nose gear collapsed on impact and the propeller sustained damage due to ground strikes while the aircraft came to an abrupt stop. The student pilot was not physically hurt. On 01/23/02 I inspected the damaged aircraft and conclude that the air craft sustained only minor damage.
