## Narrative

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

(-23) FLIGHT INSTRUCTION WAS BEING GIVEN TO A NON-RATED MULTI-ENGINE PILOT.  A SHORT FIELD LANDING WAS BEING CONDUCTED FOR TRAINING WHEN THE AIRCRAFT FLARED TOO HIGH, THE AIRSPEED GOT TO SLOW, AND THE AIRCRAFT STALLED RESULTING IN A HARD LANDING.  DURING THE SUBSEQUENT ROLLOUT THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR FAILED AND THE AIRCRAFT SLID TO A STOP ON THE RIGHT PORTION OF THE RUNWAY.

## NTSB investigation

None matched to this report by aircraft and date. Search the NTSB's own records: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/basic-search

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.
