## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT INVOLVED WAS A CESSNA 162 SKYCATCHER. THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED FROM THE WICHITA MID CONTINENT AIRPORT WITH A STUDENT PILOT AND A DESIGNATED PILOT EXAMINER. THE INTENT OF THE FLIGHT WAS A QUALIFICATION CHECKRIDE FOR A SPORT PILOT RATING.

VISUAL METERLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT WITH WIND OUT OF 200 DEGREES AT 8 KNOTS AND 10 STATUTE MILES VISIBILITY.

WHILE DEMONSTRATING A SHORT FIELD APPROACH AND LANDING, THE APPLICANT?S FLIGHT PATH WAS SLIGHTLY LOW FOR THE APPROACH. AT 30-40 FEET ABOVE THE RUNWAY, THE APPLICANT PITCHED UP THE AIRCRAFT WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY BRINGING THE POWER TO THE IDLE POSITION. AS A RESULT, THE AIRCRAFT ENTERED A HIGH DESCENT RATE IN A STALLED CONFIGURATION, IMPACTING THE RUNWAY. THE IMPACT ON THE RUNWAY WAS WITH THE LEFT WING LOW CAUSING PROPELLER, NOSE GEAR AND LEFT MAIN GEAR DAMAGE. BOTH OCCUPANTS WERE UNINJURED; HOWEVER THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE.
