## Narrative

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

THROUGHOUT THE DAY, THE STUDENT PILOT WAS PRACTICING THEIR ABILITY TO CORRELATE THE AIRCRAFT ATTITUDE REQUIRED FOR A FULL STALL LANDING AND HAD SUCCESSFULLY DISPLAYED THIS THROUGHOUT SEVEN LANDINGS.  AT 2311 HRS, THE STUDENT PILOT BEGAN THEIR EIGHTH APPROACH IN TO THE IDAHO FALLS AIRPORT (IDA) RUNWAY 21.  THE STUDENT'S PERFORMANCE WAS CLOSELY MONITORED BY THE CFI; HOWEVER, DURING THE LAST FEW SECONDS OF FLIGHT THE STUDENT RAISED THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT TO AN ATTITUDE WHERE THE WINGS REACHED THE CRITICAL ANGLE OF ATTACK.  A COMPLETE WING STALL OCCURRED AND THE TAIL STRUCK THE RUNWAY BEFORE THE MAIN TIRES CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO INCLUDE PAINT SCUFFING ON THE TAIL SKID.

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.
