From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) Pilot and passenger left mtn for a flight to cge. Flight was normal and he entered pattern at cge. Pilot said wind was right down the runway as he flew over the airport. Final approach was bumpy and when he crossed the numbers he had an unexpected crosswind and was almost blown off the runway. Power was added to realign with the runway and then reduced and he flared the aircraft too high and it dropped onto the runway. Power was added to stop any further bouncing. The aircraft was taxied to the ramp. During my conversation with the pilot, he told me he had 36 hours total time. I discussed the subject of him not being able to carry passengers and he said he was not aware of that. I stated that he may be in violation for carrying a passenger. I asked him to put together a statement of what transpired that day and send it to this office. The pilot did put a statement together and sent it to this office. This information has been forwarded to office management for potential enforcement action.
