## Narrative

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

(-23) THE AIRPLANE WAS CLEARED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 19R. FIVE MINUTES PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT THE REPORTED SURFACE WINDS WERE 210 DEGREES AT 17 KNOTS GUSTING TO 29 KNOTS. ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, THE ATIS WAS REPORTING 220 DEGREES AT 22 KNOTS WITH WIND SHEAR. THERE WAS ALSO CONSIDERABLE TURBULENCE REPORTED BY THE PILOT AND TWO PASSENGERS DURING THE DESCENT FOR LANDING. THE PILOT USED 10 DEGREES OF FLAPS AND A HIGHER THAN NORMAL APPROACH SPEED. AFTER FLOATING ABOVE THE RUNWAY AND BLEEDING OFF SPEED, THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN. HOWEVER, IMMEDIATELY AFTER TOUCHDOWN THE AIRPLANE ENCOUNTERED A STRONG GUST OF WIND FROM THE RIGHT THAT LIFTED THE RIGHT WING, AND THE AIRPLANE BECAME AIRBORNE AGAIN. THE AIRPLANE HEADED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY WHILE THE PILOT ADDED SOME POWER IN AN ATTEMPT TO CUSHION THE SECOND TOUCHDOWN. THE AIRPLANE HIT FAIRLY HARD AND CAME TO REST BETWEEN THE RUNWAY AND A TAXIWAY. ONLY AFTER BEING DIRECTED TO PARKING BY GROUND PERSONNEL AND SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE, DID THE PILOT NOTICE THE PROPELLER DAMAGE. THERE IS ALSO DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE MOUNTS AND POSSIBLY SOME BUCKLING OF THE FIREWALL. IT APPEARS THAT THE PILOT MAY NOT HAVE CHECKED THE FORECAST WINDS FOR THE DESTINATION PRIOR TO DEPARTURE.

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.
