What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On November 30, 2011, N142SF, a Cirrus SR20, made a hard landing during an instructional flight on runway 21 at the Scottsdale Airport. The student pilot, privacy data omitted, had initiated a power-off approach which was normal until the aircraft started to round out the pitch attitude of the aircraft at approxiamtely 20-30 feet above the ground at which point the airspeed bleed off rapidly causing the aircraft to stall at about 20 feet above the ground. The instructor, privacy data omitted, took over the flight controls and tried to initiate a go-around but the aircraft came in contact with the runway resulting in a hard landing. The aircraft then bounced up and the instructor conintued with the go-around and proceeded to stay in the traffic pattern and land on runway 21 to a full stop. During the hard landing the right brake line was severed therefore causing the right brake to be inoperative. The aircraft landed and after the rollout the instructor made a left 270 degree turn to exit on the west side of the runway and subsequently departed the paved taxiway area. The aircraft was then towed to a maintenance facilty. Damage was done to the landing gear, brake assemblies and the engine and propellor.
