## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON MARCH 6, 1996, MR. HARRIS BUCHBINDER WAS THE PILOT IN COMMAND OF N1469T A PA-28R ON A FLIGHT FROM MIAMI, FL TO BROOKSVILLE, FL. MR. BUCHBINDER MADE A NORMAL APPROACH TO HERNANDO COUNTY AIRPORT AT APPROXIMATELY 1100 AM. JUST BEFORE TOUCHDOWN MR. BUCHBINDER REALIZED HE HAD FAILED TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR. MR. BUCHBINDER ATTEMPTED A GO-AROUND BUT THE PROPELLER MADE CONTACT WITH THE GROUND BEFORE THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO CLIMB. MR. BUCHBINDER CLIMBED WITH THE GROUND BEFORE THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO CLIMB. MR. BUCHBINDER CLIMBED TO APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET WHILE HE LOWERED THE LANDING GEAR AND THEN COMPLETED THE LANDING. THE ONLY DAMAGE WAS TO THE PROPELLER AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

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.
