## Narrative

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

PIC STATED THAT, AFTER ACHIEVING HIS AIRMAN CERTIFICATE IN FEBRUARY, 1998, HE LOGGED VERY FEW HOURS. HOWEVER, IN THE LAST MONTH HE HAS BEEN FLYING WITH AN INSTRUCTOR TO REGAIN HIS SKILLS AND ACCOMPLISH A FLIGHT REVIEW IN ORDER TO RENT AN AIRCRAFT FROM A LOCAL FBO. PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, PIC MADE THREE NIGHT LANDINGS AS A SOLE OCCUPANT IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH CURRENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR PASSENGER-CARRYING. HE THEN DEPARTED FOR A LOCAL FLIGHT WITH HIS WIFE. PIC STATED THAT WHEN HE FLARED FOR LANDING HE PITCHED UP TOO MUCH AND LOST SIGHT OF THE RUNWAY CENTERLINE. THE CROSS-WIND DRIFTED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE RIGHT, AND HE ALLOWED THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR TO CONTACT AND DAMAGE A RUNWAY LIGHT.

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.
