## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT WAS PRACTICING APPROACHES AT THE COLORADO SPRINGS AIRPORT, RUNWAY 35L, WITH A PILOT FRIEND. AFTER THREE APPROACHES, THE PILOT ELECTED TO PERFORM SOME TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS. ATC CLEARED THE AIRCRAFT TO ENTER THE DOWNWIND FOR 35R. THE PILOT NOTED AN AIRLINER TAXIING OUT AND ANOTHER AIRCRAFT AT THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY AND DECIDED TO MAKE A SHORTENED APPROACH SO AS NOT TO DELAY THE WAITING AIRCRAFT. THE PILOT FRIEND WAS FLYING THE AIRCRAFT AT THIS TIME. THE BASE LEG WAS HIGH AND POWER WAS REDUCED. THE FINAL APPROACH WAS SLIGHTLY HIGH OVER THE RUNWAY NUMBERS. DURING THE FLARE, THE NOSE APPEARED TO BE LOW AND THE PIC CORRECTED THE LOW NOSE ATTITUDE AND RETURNED THE CONTROLS BACK TO THE PILOT FRIEND. A FEW MOMENTS LATER, THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH THE GEAR IN THE UP POSITION.
