What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Pilot was demonstrating an emergency descent to landing at the False River airport (hzr). During this maneuver the pilot noticed that he had misjudged his altitude-vs-descent rate. Upon noticing this, the pilot advanced the throttles and place the aircraft in a nose up attitude in an unsuccessful effort to reduce the rate of descent of the aircraft. The aircraft then touched down creating a hard landing condition. The pilot then completed a successful go-around to the north of False River airport and returned to baton rouge metropolitan airport (btr). The postflight inspection revealed that the l/h propeller blades were bent. Hard landing inspection revealed no further damage.
