## Narrative

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

PIC/CFI STATED THAT THEY WERE FLYING A STANDARD TRAFFIC PATTERN AT PWG. WHEN ABEAM THE NUMBERS THE AIRCRAFT WAS AT 70KTS WITH #1 POSITION FLAPS. ON FINAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 17 THE AIRCRAFT WAS AT 60KTS WITH #2 POSITION FLAPS. THE AIRCRAFT WAS A LITTLE LEFT OF CENTERLINE AND FAST INTO THE FLARE. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN ON ALL THREE WHEELS. THE STUDENT'S IMMEDIATE REACTION WAS TO PULL BACK ON THE CONTROLS. THE CFI PUSHED FORWARD ON THE CONTROLS TO COUNTER THE STUDENT PILOTS ACTIONS. THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED FOUR TIMES. THE PROPELLOR STRUCK THE RUNWAY ON THE SECOND BOUNCE. ON THE THIRD BOUNCE THE NOSE STRUCK THE RUNWAY, THE GEAR SNAPPED, AND AIRCRAFT BOUNCED BACK INTO THE AIR. ON THE FOURTH BOUNCE THE AIRCRAFT NOSE TIRE ASSEMBLY BROKE OFF, THE PROP SNAPPED AND REMAINED STATIONARY, AND THE AIRCRAFT SLID APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET TO A STOP ON THE EDGE OF THE RUNWAY.

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.
