## Narrative

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

(-23) ON MAY 22, 2008, WHILE PROVIDING FLIGHT INSTRUCTION IN A REMOS G-3/600, N474SW, THE AIRPLANE, WHILE ATTEMPTING A LANDING, TOUCHED DOWN IN A SEVERE 'CRAB" DUE TO CROSSWINDS.  THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR FOLDED UNDER THE FUSELAGE, CAUSING FURTHER, SLIGHT DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING TIP, PROPELLER, AND LEFT AILERON.  THE COMMERCIAL PILOT/FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT WERE NOT INJURED AND THE AIRPLANE SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS BEING OPERATED BY SUMMIT AVIATION, LLC, UNDER 14 CFR PART 91 WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED.  THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED AT BENTONVILLE, ARKANSAS, AND WAS BEING OPERATED AT THE BENTONVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, CONDUCTING PRACTICE LANDINGS.  VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME AND A FLIGHT PLAN WAS NOT FILED.

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.
