## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PIC WAS PERFORMING TOUCH AND GO TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS AT THE WAHOO AIRPORT IN WAHOO, NEBRASKA. ON THE THIRD LANDING, THE BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST WAS USED, BUT THE PIC FAILED TO VERIFY THREE GREEN LIGHTS ON THE GEAR DOWN INDICATOR. IN THE LANDING FLARE, BOTH PROPELLERS AND ONE ANTENNA ON THE BELLY OF THE AIRCRAFT CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY DURING A GEAR UP LANDING. THE PIC PERFORMED A GO-AROUND AND WAS ABLE TO RECOVER FROM THE GROUND CONTACT AND RETURNED THE AIRCRAFT TO FLIGHT. THE PIC THEN PROCEEDED TO KMLE AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.

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.
