## Narrative

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

(-23) IN THE PROCESS OF REPOSITIONING N7558V FROM SGF TO THE SPRINGFIELD DOWNTOWN AIRPORT, ^PRIVACY DAT^ NEGLECTED TO EXTEND THE AIRPLANE'S LANDING GEAR PRIOR TO LANDING. N7558V CONTACTED THE RUNWAY WITH THE LANDING GEAR IN THE RETRACTED POSITION, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER, BELLY, AND LOWER COWL SKIN. A POST-INCIDENT GEAR RETRACTION TEST WAS PERFORMED ON 10/04/00. THE LANDING GEAR FUNCTIONED NORMALLY; HOWEVER, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE GEAR WARNING HORN WIRE THAT ATTACHES TO A MICROSWITCH WAS BROKEN. THIS SITUATION WOULD PREVENT THE WARNING HORN FROM SOUNDING IN THE EVENT THE LANDING GEAR IS MIS-CONFIGURED.^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^
