What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot made the following statement:
On approach I was initially high and
Corrected on glide slope indication and slowed to 130 knots within 1 mile of the runway. I slowed to vref of 113 1/8 mile from the runway. I continued a stabilized approach and when I was about the 500 foot markers I pulled the power levers to idle and flared. I touched down about the 1000 foot
Markers and the stall warning chirped momentarily as I touched down. I applied full reverse at touch down there being no way to go around at Kodiak I wanted to slow as quickly as possible, condition levers were in low idle. At this point the nose of the aircraft started to rise dramatically into the air, I applied full forward elevator and brought the power levers out of reverse. This lowered the nose of the aircraft back to the ground. Neither I nor my fo believed that we had struck thetail of the aircraft at this time.
As the FAA filed it
PILOT MADE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT:
ON APPROACH I WAS INITIALLY HIGH AND
CORRECTED ON GLIDE SLOPE INDICATION AND SLOWED TO 130 KNOTS WITHIN 1 MILE OF THE RUNWAY. I SLOWED TO VREF OF 113 1/8 MILE FROM THE RUNWAY. I CONTINUED A STABILIZED APPROACH AND WHEN I WAS ABOUT THE 500 FOOT MARKERS I PULLED THE POWER LEVERS TO IDLE AND FLARED. I TOUCHED DOWN ABOUT THE 1000 FOOT
MARKERS AND THE STALL WARNING CHIRPED MOMENTARILY AS I TOUCHED DOWN. I APPLIED FULL REVERSE AT TOUCH DOWN THERE BEING NO WAY TO GO AROUND AT KODIAK I WANTED TO SLOW AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, CONDITION LEVERS WERE IN LOW IDLE. AT THIS POINT THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO RISE DRAMATICALLY INTO THE AIR, I APPLIED FULL FORWARD ELEVATOR AND BROUGHT THE POWER LEVERS OUT OF REVERSE. THIS LOWERED THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT BACK TO THE GROUND. NEITHER I NOR MY FO BELIEVED THAT WE HAD STRUCK THETAIL OF THE AIRCRAFT AT THIS TIME.
