What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On April 21, 2013, at approximately 1700 UTC, a Cessna 172RG, N23SK sustained damage following a hard landing at Sky King Airport (3I3) located in Terre Haute, Indiana.
The student pilot and flight instructor occupants were not injured. The airplane was registered to brown flying school and was being operated under the provisions of 14 code of federal regulations parts 61 and 91 as an instructional flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed or required.
The pilot stated that while practicing power-off 180 degree accuracy landings, the aircraft had a hard landing on runway 8. The student pilot allowed the airspeed to decrease and did not take any corrective action. The flight instructor took control and started a go-around procedure but not soon enough to stop the aircraft from contacting the runway.
