What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) During training for a commercial certification, the student pilot was performing his third touch and go. When full power was applied, the aircraft fishtailed as the instructor pilot raised the flaps. Immediately, the propeller started striking the ground and the aircraft settled on its belly. Inspection of the landing gear showed no damage to the gear with minimal abrasion of the exterior skin of the nose gear doors. There was no damage to the flaps with minimal damage to the belly longitudinal stringers and wing spar cap. Inspection of the landing gear selector (electrical type) revealed it had a positive detent in both the gear up or down positions. The landing gear operated normally when the aircraft was raised off the ground and the gear was extended. The propeller was under full power as it struck the runway until the aircraft came to rest on its belly.
