## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING AN INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT, TOUCH & GOS WERE PERFORMED. CONTROL STICK MOVED FORWARD WHEN STUDENT PILOT RELEASED IT ON SHORT FINAL, (BELIEVING IT WAS FULLY TRIMMED) ON THE 'TOUCH' PORTION. NOSE WHEEL AND PROPELLER DAMAGED. NO FIREWALL DAMAGE NOTED AT THIS TIME.

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.
