N3152Q WAS RETURNING TO KLDJ FROM KFWN ON THE AFTERNOON OF JULY 18, 2017 AT APPROXIMATELY 14:00 LOCAL. UPON ARRIVAL TO THE LINDEN AREA THE AWOS WAS REPORTING WINDS FROM 140 DEGREES AT 9 KNOTS. THE PILOT DECIDED TO JOIN THE LEFT HAND PATTERN FOR RUNWAY 9. HE RECALLS THAT AT SHORT-FINAL HIS INDICATED AIRSPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 70 KNOTS. THE LANDING FLARE WAS INITIATED WITH IDLE POWER.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
