## Narrative

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

(-23) ^PRIVACY DATA ^ DURING AN INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT, THE STUDENT BOUNCED THE AIRCRAFT DURING LANDING. THE AIRCRAFT BECAME AIRBORNE AND THE STUDENT PUSHED FORWARD ON THE FLIGHT CONTROLS. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR COULD NOT REACT IN TIME AND THE AIRCRAFT CONTACTED THE GROUND A SECOND TIME CAUSING A PROP STRIKE. THIS INCIDENT IS CLOSED WITH THIS REPORT.

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.
