## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

PILOT WAS CONDUCTING A NORMAL LANDING ONTO RUNWAY 23 AT KSHD.  DURING THE APPROACH TO LAND, PILOT FLARED THE AIRCRAFT TOO HIGH AND LANDED HARD ONTO THE RUNWAY.  THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED AND PILOT INITIATED A GO-AROUND.  DURING THE GO-AROUND, PILOT RETRACTED THE GEAR AND THE AIRCRAFT SANK BACK DOWN ONTO THE RUNWAY.  THE GEAR DID NOT FULLY RETRACT UPON LANDING.  DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT INCLUDES LANDING GEAR, ONE FLAP, AND UNDERBELLY.

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.
