What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On second touch and go lifted. Retracted gear too early. Settled. Props hit runway. Aborted. Hit parked Cessna 172. (.4)while practicing crosswind touch-and-go landings, the airplane touched down left of the centerline near the displaced threshold and bounced. The pilot added and removed power to let the airplane settle to the runway. The landing gear retracted during this period, and the left propeller struck the runway. The pilot added full power and rotated, at which time, the right propeller contacted the runway. With the engine running rough, the airplane touched down again, slid off the runway, and contacted a parked airplane. The pilot reported he did not touch the landing gear selector during the landing, nor did he hear a warning horn. Postaccident inspection of the landing gear system revealed that it, along with the gear warning system, functioned normally. (-23)on second landing of a planned series of touch and goes, tow pilot-rated witnesses stated that the airplane lofted off followed by an instantaneous retraction of the landing gear. The aiplane settled onto the runway, st riking both propellers and detecting a pronounced right yaw, the pilot closed the throttles and landed ont he grass alongside the runway. The right wing struck the nosewheel of a parked CE-172 as the airplane skidded to a halt.
As the FAA filed it
ON SECOND TOUCH AND GO LIFTED. RETRACTED GEAR TOO EARLY. SETTLED. PROPS HIT RUNWAY. ABORTED. HIT PARKED CESSNA 172. (.4)WHILE PRACTICING CROSSWIND TOUCH-AND-GO LANDINGS, THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN LEFT OF THE CENTERLINE NEAR THE DISPLACED THRESHOLD AND BOUNCED. THE PILOT ADDED AND REMOVED POWER TO LET THE AIRPLANE SETTLE TO THE RUNWAY. THE LANDING GEAR RETRACTED DURING THIS PERIOD, AND THE LEFT PROPELLER STRUCK THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT ADDED FULL POWER AND ROTATED, AT WHICH TIME, THE RIGHT PROPELLER CONTACTED THE RUNWAY. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH, THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN AGAIN, SLID OFF THE RUNWAY, AND CONTACTED A PARKED AIRPLANE. THE PILOT REPORTED HE DID NOT TOUCH THE LANDING GEAR SELECTOR DURING THE LANDING, NOR DID HE HEAR A WARNING HORN. POSTACCIDENT INSPECTION OF THE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM REVEALED THAT IT, ALONG WITH THE GEAR WARNING SYSTEM, FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. (-23)ON SECOND LANDING OF A PLANNED SERIES OF TOUCH AND GOES, TOW PILOT-RATED WITNESSES STATED THAT THE AIRPLANE LOFTED OFF FOLLOWED BY AN INSTANTANEOUS RETRACTION OF THE LANDING GEAR. THE AIPLANE SETTLED ONTO THE RUNWAY, ST RIKING BOTH PROPELLERS AND DETECTING A PRONOUNCED RIGHT YAW, THE PILOT CLOSED THE THROTTLES AND LANDED ONT HE GRASS ALONGSIDE THE RUNWAY. THE RIGHT WING STRUCK THE NOSEWHEEL OF A PARKED CE-172 AS THE AIRPLANE SKIDDED TO A HALT.
