What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Aircraft was landing at Shelbyville municipal airport, TN (syi) rwy 18. The airplane started to porpoise when it touched down. The pilot stated she started a touch and go and, during go-around, the throttle lever jammed. Upon inspection of rwy 18, there were 3 separate sets of prop strikes on the runway, indicating the aircraft porpoised twice after initial touch down. After the go-around, she set up for landing on rwy 18 again. With the throttle still jammed, the pilot attempted a high-airspeed landing. Just before touchdown, the pilot turned the ignition switch off. The mains touched down first followed by the nose gear. The nose gear immediately collapsed and the front tire separated from the axle. The nose of the aircraft then impacted the ground with prop strikes. The aircraft slid on its nose about 600 feet before coming to rest, left of center line on rwy 18.
