## Narrative

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

AN AIRMAN WAS RECEIVING TRAINING FOR A MULTI-ENIGINE ADD-ON TO THEIR COMMERCIAL PILOT CERTIFICATE.

THIS TRAINING INCLUDED SINGLE ENGINE LANDING PROCEDURES AT DOYLESTOWN AIRPORT (DYL).

THE FIRST APPROACH AND LANDING WERE COMPLETED WITHOUT ANY ISSUES WITH A FULL STOP AND TAXI BACK TO THE RUNWAY.

ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT, THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR SIMUALTED A RIGHT ENGINE FAILURE ON THE UPWIND LEG. THE DOWNWIND, BASE AND INTIAL FINAL APPROACH WERE NORMAL AND STABLE. THIS INFORMATION WAS VERIFIED BY BOTH PILOT AND FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR STATEMENTS.

AROUND 20FT FROM RUNWAY TOUCHDOWN. THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO DECEND RAPIDLY AT WHICH POINT THE CFI CALLED FOR A GO-AROUND, TOOK THE CONTROLS, APPLIED FULL POWER, BUT IT WAS NOT ENOUGH THE STOP THE DECENT AND THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED HARD ON THE RUNWAY. THE CFI WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT AFTER THE BOUNCE, AND CLEAN UP THE CONFIGUATION OF THE AIRCRAFT FOR THE RETURN BACK TO NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA AIRPORT (PNE). ALL INSTRUMENTS AND GEAR RETRACTION WERE IN THE GREEN, WITH NO INDICATIONS OF ANY ISSUES AT THIS TIME.

THE FLIGHT AND APPROACH INTO NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA AIRPORT (PNE) WERE NORMAL UNTIL THE AIRCRAFT WAS ABEAM RUNWAY 33. AT THIS TIME, THE AIRMAN REDUCED POWER TO THE ENGINES/PROPELLERS FOR LANDING AND NOTICED A POSSIBLE CURL IN THE PROPELLER BLADES. THEY CONTINUED THE LANDING AND UPON TOUCHDOWN THE AIRMAN REALIZED THAT ONE OF THE MAIN LANDING GEAR TIRES WERE FLAT. THE AIRMAN WERE ABLE TO TAXI THE AIRCRAFT OFF THE ACTIVE RUNWAY AND COME TO A STOP ON A TAXI WAY. AT WHICH POINT, THEY PERFORMED THE EMERGENCY SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE, AND CONTACTED THE AIRPORT AND FLIGHT SCHOOL FOR ASSISTANCE.

AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED A PROP STRIKE ON ALL FOUR PROPELLER BLADES AND THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR TIRE WAS FLAT UPON TOUCHDOWN AT PNE.

BOTH PILOT AND CFI PROVIDED STATEMENTS THAT REFERENCED POSSIBLE WINDSHEAR AS THE RESULT FOR THE DECENT DURING THE HARD LANDING AT DYL, BUT COULD NOT BE VERIFIED THROUGH NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICES OBTAINED.
