As the aircraft appeared in closer proximity to the runways than for a normal touchdown, the pilot examiner applied power in order to keep the aircraft airborne long enough to extend the landing gear. A complete gear up landing did not occurr, and damage was limited tp bent propeller tips, and minor damage to the left flap. privacy data omitted
