## Narrative

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

(-23) ON 31 MAY 2008 A PIPER PA-30, ON APPROACH TO RUNWAY 28 AT KQVB LANDD WITH THE GEAR UP.  THE PIC STATED THAT HE WAS INSTRUCTING THE STUDENT ON HOW TO SHOOT AN APPROACH WITH ADDITIONAL POWER DUE TO THE FACT THAT ON THE PREVIOUS APPROACH HE HAD EXPERIENCED A 15 TO 20 KNOT WINDSHEAR AS INDICATED BY THE GPS ONBOARD.  THE PIC STATED HE INSTRUCTED THE STUDENT ON HIS APPROACH PROCEDURES AND AS THE AIRCRAFT FLARED AND SETTLED TO THE RUNWAY HE REALIZED THAT THEY HAD FORGOTTEN TO PUT THE GEAR DOWN.  DUE TO THE HIGHER POWER SETTINGS THE LANDING GEAR WARNING HORN DID NOT GO OFF AS THE THROTTLES WERE FORWARD OF THE SWITCHES THAT ACTIVATED THE WARNING HORN.  THERE WAS NO PERSONAL INJURY.  BOTH PROPS DAMAGED AND SHEET METAL DAMAGE ON THE AIRCRAFT BELLY.  THE RIGHT WING LEADING EDGE SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE FROM IMPACTING A TAXI LIGHT.  THIS INCIDENT CLOSED.

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.
