THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED JUST AS THE PILOT WAS STARTING TO FLARE ON FINAL APPROACH FOR LANDING ON RUNWAY 15 AT THE PERRIS VALLEY AIRPORT (KL65), CALIFORNIA. THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED OFF THE RUNWAY INTO THE AIR AND THE RIGHT WING AND ENGINE IMPACTED  THE GROUND AND A PARKED FUEL TRUCK.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
