## Narrative

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

THERE ARE CONFLICTING REPORTS ON THE ACTUAL DATE OF THE HARD LANDING. THERE IS A DATE OF JULY 1, 2009 WHERE THE PILOT REPORTED TO THE AIRCRAFT RENTAL LOCATION THAT SHE EXPERIENCED A HARD LANDING. THEN THERE IS ANOTHER REPORT OF A HARD LANDING BY THE SAME PILOT IN THIS AIRCRAFT THAT WAS REPORTED TO INSURANCE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS INVESTIGATING BOTH DATES AS POTENTIAL FOR INSURANCE FRAUD. SINCE THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS INVESTIGATING, ALL PARTIES ARE LESS THEN COOPERATIVE IN GIVING ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.  ADDITIONAL FACTS: THE AIRPLANE REMAINED IN SERVICE AFTER THE FIRST REPORTED DATE AND MAY HAVE BEEN FLOWN BY OTHER OPERATORS PRIOR TO ANY REPORTED DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.  AFTER THE FIRST DATE GIVEN FOR A HARD LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT WAS GIVEN A LIMITED INSPECTION BY AN A&P WHO REPORTED THE AIRCRAFT WAS AIRWORTHY.  THE SECOND HARD LANDING REPORT WAS INVESTIGATED BY ANOTHER FSDO AS A COMPLAINT. THE COMPLAINT INVESTIGATION CONFIRMED THAT A HARD LANDING DID NOT OCCUR IN BAKERSVILLE, CA.
