## Narrative

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

THE PIC WHILE CONDUCTING PROFICIENCY FLYING FAILED TO EXTEND HIS LANDING GEAR DURING HIS THIRD TOUCH AND GO. HE STATED THAT HE PLACED THE GEAR HANDLE DOWN DURING THE FLARE AND IMMEDIATELY INCREASED TAKEOFF POWER. THE AIRCRAFT'S ENTRANCE STEP HIT THE RUNWAY AND THE PILOT RETARDED THE POWER AND CAME TO A STOP ON THE RUNWAY. THE AUTOMATIC GEAR EXTENSION DID NOT ACTIVATE POSSIBLY DUE TO EXCESSIVE SPEED. THE PIC INDICATED HE WAS UNAWARE OF THE SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. STRUCTURAL DAMAGE WAS MINIMAL CONFINED TO GEAR DOORS AND SKIN. THE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE WAS TO THE PROPELLER BLADE.

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.
