## Narrative

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

(-23) ON OCTOBER 15, 2005, AT APPROXIMATELY 3:00 PM AT THE ALEXANDRIA, IN (I99) AIRPORT, THE PILOT EXPERIENCED A HARD LANDING INDUCED BY CROSSWIND/GUSTING CONDITIONS AND AGGRAVATED BY LOW AIRSPEED ON THE APPROACH FOR THE GIVEN WEATHER CONDITIONS. AS A RESULT, THE GLIDER SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE LANDING GEAR AND TAILBOOM.

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.
