## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED DURING THE INTERVIEW, HE ENTERED A LEFT TRAFFIC PATTERN FOR RUNWAY 6 AT LAKEWOOD AIRPORT. HE

TURNED FINAL APPROACH AND WAS AT 400 FEET OVER THE NUMBERS. THE PAPI WAS SHOWING TWO WHITE LIGHTS, INDICATING HE WAS TOO HIGH. HE EXECUTED A GO AROUND AND MADE A SECOND LEFT HAND TRAFFIC PATTERN FOR RUNWAY 6. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE HAD TROUBLE CLIMBING AND THOUGHT HE HAD ENGINE TROUBLE (DURING POST INCIDENT PILOT INTERVIEW, NO FACTUAL BASIS COULD BE ESTABLISHED TO SUPPORT ENGINE FAILURE OR RPM LOSS DURING FLIGHT).  ON HIS SECOND APPROACH, HE CAME IN TOO FAST AND TOUCHED DOWN AT 80 KNOTS, LANDING WITH A LIGHT QUARTERING TAIL WIND. THE POWER SETTING WAS AT IDLE AND HE FORCED THE AIRCRAFT ONTO THE GROUND. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP BY THE RUNWAY END IDENTIFIER LIGHTS. HE SAW THAT HE HAD A LEFT BLOWN TIRE BUT WANTED TO EXIT THE RUNWAY. HE TURNED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE RIGHT AND THE PROP STRUCK A RUNWAY LIGHT DAMAGING THE PROPELLER. THE PILOT SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND WITH THE HELP OF THE PASSENGER, PUSHED THE AIRCRAFT OFF THE RUNWAY TO A NEARBY TIEDOWN.

THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED A PROPELLER STRIKE FROM THE RUNWAY LIGHT IMPACT, MAIN WHEEL TIRE DAMAGE, AND MINOR DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE FIREWALL.  OWNER/OPERATOR CONDUCTED MULTIPLE GROUND ENGINE RUNS AFTER COMPLETING ENGINE INSPECTION. THEN PERFORMED TEST FLIGHT.  NO POWER LOSS COULD BE DETECTED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

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.
