## Narrative

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

(-23) ON AUGUST 20, 2004, AT APPROXIMATELY 0857 PACIFIC STANDARD TIME, AN EXPERIMENTAL AIRPLANE BARRY HATZ CB-1, N592DJ, AFTER INITIAL TOUCH DOWN ON LANDING, STRUCK A TAXIWAY SIGN, CAUSING THE AIRPLANE TO EXIT THE RUNWAY AND COLLIDE WITH A HANGAR. THE AIRPLANE WHICH RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE WAS OPERATED BY THE OWNER/PILOT. THE PRIVATE PILOT AND PASSENGER WERE NOT INJURED. THE PERSONAL FLIGHT OPERATING UNDER 14 CFR PART 91 OF THE FEDERAL AVIATION REGULATIONS ORIGINATED AT CABLE AIRPORT, UPLAND, CALIFORNIA AT 0810. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED IN THE ACCIDENT AREA AND NO FLIGHT PLAN HAD BEEN FILED. THE PILOT STATED THAT AFTER HE BOUNCED THE AIRPLANE ON INITIAL TOUCH DOWN HE ADDED A LITTLE POWER TO LESSEN THE CHANCE OF A SECOND BOUNCE WHEN HE TOUCHED BACK DOWN. HE SAID HE WAS UNAWARE OF THE FACT THE AIRPLANE HAD DRIFTED LEFT AND JUST AS HE WAS ABOUT TO TOUCH DOWN A SECOND TIME THE AIRPLANE STRUCK A TAXIWAY SIGN. THE AIRPLANE THEN VEERED LEFT OFF THE RUNWAY AND IMPACTED A HANGAR.
