Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The plt reported that he took off to practice engine out procedures & touch-and-go landings. Two successful touch- and-go landings were executed, the 1st with 20 deg of flaps & the 2nd with 10 deg of flaps. A 3rd engine-out landing was initiated, but with no flaps extended. According to the plt, the approach was normal with a projected touchdown 'on the numbers.' At one point on the approach, the airspeed was noted to be 70 KTS. The plt's operating handbook called for a normal approach speed of 75 to 85 KTS in the flaps up configuration. During the flare, the plt felt the tail slam down. He took off again, but noticed that the climb performance was sluggish. A normal landing was made. During a post flt check, he noticed that the fuselage was wrinkled & the horizontal stabilizer was bent.
