## Narrative

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

INCIDENT HAPPENED AT KOMN ON RUNWAY 17.  WINDS WERE 170@10 AS AIRCRAFT RETURNED BACK INTO ORMOND, TOWER CLEARED THEM FOR THE STRAIGHT IN RUNWAY 17 REPORT 4NM STRAIGHT IN. THEY REPORTED THE 4NM FINAL STRAIGHT IN AND WAITED UNTIL 3NM TO COMPLETE THEIR FIRST GUMPS CHECKLIST.  POWER WENT 15? AND DEPLOYED GEAR.

INSTRUCTOR  PROMPTLY PULLED THE MIXTURE TO CUT-OFF BEFORE NOSE CAME DOWN.  THEY BEGAN SLIDING TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY TOWARDS THE GRASS AND RUNWAY LIGHTS, WHICH THEN FELT AS IF WE WERE SOLELY SLIDING ON THE BELLY OF THE PLANE.  I TURNED EVERYTHING OFF, NOTIFIED ATC AND HAD THE STUDENT AND I EXIT THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
