From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

While on final for 15R at isp the airman explained there was a right crosswind and the air was turbulent. On roundout the main landing gear touched down but the aircraft skipped the surface and became airborne again. The PIC added power and lowered the nose and the aircraft skipped the runway again. The PIC could not recall how many bounces he made but once he was firmly on the ground he could not engage nosewheel steering so he stopped on the runway and waited for assistance. The airman was current and qualified at the time of the event. He explained he did not have a lot of time in the CE-182 and that could have contributed to the incident as the nose does have a heavier feel than the CE-172. The airman was counseled on roundout techniques in the CE-182, when to go around, aeronautical decision making, landing with crosswind/windshear, and the pave checklist.

As the FAA filed it

WHILE ON FINAL FOR 15R AT ISP THE AIRMAN EXPLAINED THERE WAS A RIGHT CROSSWIND AND THE AIR WAS TURBULENT. ON ROUNDOUT THE MAIN LANDING GEAR TOUCHED DOWN BUT THE AIRCRAFT SKIPPED THE SURFACE AND BECAME AIRBORNE AGAIN. THE PIC ADDED POWER AND LOWERED THE NOSE AND THE AIRCRAFT SKIPPED THE RUNWAY AGAIN. THE PIC COULD NOT RECALL HOW MANY BOUNCES HE MADE BUT ONCE HE WAS FIRMLY ON THE GROUND HE COULD NOT ENGAGE NOSEWHEEL STEERING SO HE STOPPED ON THE RUNWAY AND WAITED FOR ASSISTANCE. THE AIRMAN WAS CURRENT AND QUALIFIED AT THE TIME OF THE EVENT. HE EXPLAINED HE DID NOT HAVE A LOT OF TIME IN THE CE-182 AND THAT COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE INCIDENT AS THE NOSE DOES HAVE A HEAVIER FEEL THAN THE CE-172. THE AIRMAN WAS COUNSELED ON ROUNDOUT TECHNIQUES IN THE CE-182, WHEN TO GO AROUND, AERONAUTICAL DECISION MAKING, LANDING WITH CROSSWIND/WINDSHEAR, AND THE PAVE CHECKLIST.
