## Narrative

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

ON JULY 3, 2025, AT APPROXIMATELY 0957, A MOONEY M20K AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED A HARD LANDING WITH 3 PEOPLE ON BOARD AT KHND HENDERSON EXECUTIVE AIRPORT IN HENDERSON, NEVADA. ALL 3 OCCUPANTS EXITED THE AIRCRAFT UNDER THEIR OWN POWER AND SUSTAINED NO INJURIES. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE APPLIED A "SMALL AMOUNT OF POWER" JUST BEFORE TOUCHDOWN, WHICH CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO BOUNCE OFF THE RUNWAY AND MADE THE PILOT LOSE CONTROL AND HIT MULTIPLE SIGNS ON THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP ABOUT 100 FEET NORTH OF TAXIWAY E AND ABOUT 100 FEET WEST OF RUNWAY 35R
