## Narrative

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

WHILE DOING TOUCH AND GO'S AT AKR, ON THE THIRD ONE PIC INADVERTANTLY PUT UP THE GEAR AND AIRCRAFT WAS NOT READY TO FLY. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ SAW WHAT WAS TRANSPIRING AND PUT THE GEAR HANDLE IN THE DOWN POSISTION BUT IT WAS TO NO AVAIL. AIRCRAFT'S LEFT MAIN WAS DOWN AND THE RIGHT MAIN AND NOSE WERE IN THE GEAR WELL AND AIRCRAFT SKIDDED TO STOP. NO INJURIES. MINOR DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT INCLUDING PROP STRIKE ON BOTH ENGINES.

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.
