## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT STATED THAT HIS APPROACH TO THE RUNWAY WAS NORMAL, BUT WHEN HE INCREASED THE PITCH ATTITUDE OF THE AIRPLANE TO TOUCHDOWN THE AIRPLANE GAINED ALTITUDE. HE THEN LOWERED THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT AND TOUCHED DOWN ON THE RUNWAY IN A LEVEL ATTITUDE, BOUNCED BACK INTO THE AIR, TOUCHED DOWN IN A LEVEL ATTITUDE AND BOUNCED INTO THE AIR A SECOND TIME. HE THEN RETRACTED HIS WING FLAPS WHILE AIRBORNE AND TOUCHED DOWN A THIRD AND FINAL TIME.

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.
