## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT WAS MAKING SECOND LANDING AT THIS AIRPORT WHEN ON APPROACH AIRCRAFT SUDDENLY DROPPED AND CONTACTED THE GROUND APPROXIMATELY 225 FEET SHORT OF RUNWAY. PILOT DOES NOT REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT THE ACCIDENT. PASSENGER STATED THAT THE APPROACH WAS LOW BUT THEY HAD GOOD AIRSPEED AT 80 MPH AND WERE LINED UP GOOD WITH THE RUNWAY WHEN SUDDENLY AIRCRAFT JUST DROPPED. HE STATED WINDS WERE FAIRLY STRONG ALOFT BUT NOT BAD ON THE GROUND. HE FEELS THEY HIT A WIND SHEAR AND PILOT FAILED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT. NEITHER PILOT NOR PASSENGER STATED ANY MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. NO MECHANICAL IRREGULARITIES WERE FOUND WITH THE AIRCRAFT.

## 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.
