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

PILOT WAS CONDUCTING TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS, AT CDA AIRPORT. ON ONE OF THE LANDINGS, THE PILOT DIDN?T HAVE ENOUGH ROTOR SPEED, AND STARTED TO BOUNCE. THE PILOT REPORTED BOUNCING OFF THE RUNWAY, AND LANDED IN THE DIRT NEXT TO THE RUNWAY AND ENDED UP ON ITS SIDE.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
