## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT STATED HE LOWERED THE LANDING GEAR AFTER HE PULLED THE THROTTLE BACK TO 22" UP TO BEGIN THE PRACTICE ILS APPROACH TO RWY 16. PILOT STATED HE DID NOT RECHECK THE GEAR LIGHT (3 GEARS) AT THE MIDDLE MARKER. THE PILOT SAID HE FELT THE RIGHT WHEEL TOUCH THEN LEFT AND BEFORE THE NOSE WHEEL TOUCHED, HE HEARD A BANGING SOUND OF THE PROPELLERS HITTING THE RUNWAY. THE A/C TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 700; FROM INITIAL PROPELLER IMPACT TO ITS FINAL RESTING POINT. NOTE: FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS CONTINUING, AND INSPECTION OF THE A/C IS PENDING. AN AMENDMENT TO FOLLOW IF NECESSARY.

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.
