THE PRIVATE PILOT'S MISJUDGED TOUCHDOWN. RELATED FACTORS ARE THE REDUCED VISIBILITY DUE TO SUNGLARE, ONGOING RUNWAY CONSTRUCTION, AND THE PILOT'S INATTENTION TO ATC/COMMUNICATIONS/INFORMATION.
These match the airframe or engine model. Whether each one applies, and whether it's been complied with, depends on serial numbers, equipment and logbook entries. Applicability must be confirmed by a mechanic against the aircraft's records.
