## Narrative

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

(-23) N925AF WAS A DUAL TRAINING FLIGHT CONDUCTED BY EMERY RIDDLE AERONAUTICAL UNIVERSITY UNDER CONTRACT TO THE US AIRFORCE ACADEMY. MR. PATRICK YANEZ A STUDENT PILOT WAS PRACTICING LANDINGS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF HIS INSTRUCTOR. THE STUDENT PILOT FAILED TO FLARE ADEQUATELY AND THE INSPECTOR WAS LATE IN ASSUMING CONTROL RESULTING IN A HARD LANDING AT MEADOW LAKE AIRPORT. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO ALL THREE LANDING GEAR. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

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.
