What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On October 24, 2012, at approximately 10:40AM, while landing on runway 05 at Casa Grande airport (cgz), the pilot in command made a hard landing. The initial impact caused his aircraft to become airborne propelling it into a northeasterly direction of the runway. The pilot failed to regain altitude and airspeed and impacted the ground a second time. The aircraft traveled over dirt and un-level terrain approximately 160 yards from the center of the runway which induced substantial damage to the landing gear, engine as well as both left and right wings.
