## Narrative

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

(-23)THE EVENING OF MAY 2, 2000 ^PRIVACY DATA^ WAS CONDUCTING AN INITIAL AIRCRAFT CHECKOUT WITH ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AT THE ST.CHARLES SMART AIRFIELD. DURING ONE OF MULTIPLE TOUCH AND GO'S ^PRIVACY DATA^ELECTED TO HAVE ^PRIVACY DATA^ CONDUCT A NO-FLAP APPROACH.  ON FINAL CROSSING THE THRESHOLD, BOTH PILOTS NOTICED THAT THE AIRSPEED WAS HIGH AND THE THROTTLE WAS AT IDLE.  ^PRIVACY DATA^ REACHED FOR THE FLAPS BUT REMEMBERED HE WAS DOING A NO-FLAP AND DIDN'T THINK TWICE ABOUT THE GEAR.  ^PRIVACY DATA^ WAS DOING A LOT OF COACHING AND IT WASN'T UNTIL THE TAIL STARTED DRAGGING THE RUNWAY THAT EITHER PILOT REMEMBERED THE GEAR.  ALL AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS WERE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY AND THE GEAR WARNING HORN WAS GOING OFF AS THE AIRCRAFT WAS SKIDDING DOWN THE RUNWAY.

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.
