## Narrative

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

(-23) WHILE ATTEMPTING A LANDING ON RUNWAY 11 AT GRAND JUNCTION WALKER FIELD, COLORADO, AT 2030 MDT ON JULY 16, 2005, THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT WHO WAS FLYING THE AIRCRAFT, FAILED TO MAINTAIN POSITIVE CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT AND STALLED IT FROM APPROXIMATELY 60 FEET AGL. THIS RESULTED IN SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND SERIOUS INJURIES TO THE INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT. THE STUDENT IS STILL UNDERGOING TREATMENT AND DOES NOT REMEMBER MUCH, THE INSTRUCTOR DOES NOT REMEMBER ANYTHING AT ALL YET.

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
