What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On August 4, 2019, at approximately 1400, N424BC, a Cessna 172F took off from sky bryce airport (VG18). The pilot reported that he had an impending stall condition so he took actions to correct the unsafe condition. After correcting the impending stall condition, the pilot did not think that he had enough altitude to clear the trees, so he landed back on the runway at sky bryce airport coming to a full stop approximately 75 feet from the end of the runway. When the aircraft touched down, the pilot hit the brakes hard causing the left wing and propeller to strike the runway. The pilot sustained no injuries. No passengers were on board. The FAA was notified at that time. The aircraft sustained damage to the left wing and propeller. An inspection of the aircraft maintenance logbooks revealed that all inspections were current as of 4 August 2019.
