## Narrative

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

(-23) WHILE GIVING INITIAL TRAINING IN CUSTOMERS NEW AIRPLANE, FLIGHT ENCOUNTERED SEVERE TURBULENCE DURING THE FINAL APPROACH. DECISION TO REJECT LANDING WAS MADE DUE TO THE TURBULENCE. DURING THE REJECTED LANDING THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND TO FULL THROTTLE INPUT. INSTRUCTOR MADE THE DECISION TO ABORT THE REJECTED LANDING, AND LANDED ON THE REMAINING RUNWAY. THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN WITH 600 FEET OF RUNWAY REMAINING. BOTH PILOTS USED HEAVY BRAKING, CAUSING BOTH MAIN TIRES TO FAIL. INSTRUCTOR STEERED AIRPLANE BETWEEN RUNWAY END LIGHTS, AND THE AIRPLANE STOPPED IN THE OVER RUN AREA. AIRCRAFT DAMAGE INCLUDED BLOWN MAIN TIRES AND SCRATCHES ON LEFT MAIN GEAR WHEEL FAIRING.

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.
