## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT REPORTED WHILE DOWN WIND ABEAM MID FIELD, A TWIN ENGINE AIRCRAFT PILOT CALLED DOWN WIND BEHIND HIM AND ASKED IF HE COULD EXTEND HIS DOWN WIND LEG OUT ABOUT A HALF A MILE SO THAT THE TWIN COULD LAND. HE SAID THAT HE COULD DO IT. HE HAD NOT LOWERED THE LANDING GEAR AND FLAPS AT THIS POINT. THE PILOT THEN EXPLAINED THAT DUE TO THE EXTENDED PATTERN AT THE LOWER ALTITUDE, HE WAS USING AN EXTRA AMOUNT OF POWER AND HE DID NOT LOWER THE LANDING GEAR AND HAD ONLY LOWERED THE FLAPS TO 15 DEGREES. WITH THE EXTRA POWER THIS ALSO PRECLUDED THE LANDING GEAR WARNING HORN FROM BLOWING, AND AS HE FLARED FOR THE LANDING THE AIRCRAFT SETTLED TO THE RUNWAY. THE PROPELLER BLADES STRUCK THE ASPHALT RESULTING IN SCRAPING AND BENDING THE BLADES. THE LOWER ANTENNAS WERE TORN OFF AND THE BELLY SKIN FROM THE NOSE WHEEL AREA TO THE FRONT SPAR WAS DAMAGED. THE LEFT FLAP SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE AT THE INBOARD AFT EDGE. THE AIRCRAFT WAS JACKED UP, THE LANDING GEAR LOWERED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS THEN TOWED TO THE OWNERS HANGER.

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.
