## Narrative

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

(-23) INCIDENT WAS REPORTED BY CHARLES MUTON (AIRPORT MANAGER GLADEWATER AIRPORT) (903-845-2116). MR. MUTON REPORTED A BE-18 HAD A HARD LANDING WHILE DROPPING OFF SKYDIVERS. THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETUNING AROUND NOON ON 7-13-2002 TO THE GLADEWATER AIRPORT WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. NO ONE WITNESSED THE INCIDENT THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTACT, HOWEVER THE AIRPORT MANAGER SAW THE AIRCRAFT AND STATED THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED SOME DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE MOUNTS AND PROPS. PILOT INFORMATION IS UNAVAILABLE AND OWNER INFORMATION IN VIS INDICATES A CORPORATION NOT AN INDIVIDUAL.

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.
