## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED A DUAL PROP STRIKE ON AN ATTEMPTED LANDING AT ANN ARBOR MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (KARB) DUE TO THE LANDING GEAR NOT BEING EXTENDED.

THE PILOT STATED THAT HE NORMALLY PUTS THE GEAR DOWN WHEN HE INTERCEPTS THE GLIDE PATH BUT HE MAY HAVE BECOME DISTRACTED DUE TO A LATE HANDOFF TO THE KARB TOWER AND THE CONTROLLER AT THE TOWER HASSLING HIM FOR CALLING HIM SO LATE. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE DIDNT RECALL HEARING THE GEAR WARNING HORN AND HE SIMPLY FAILED TO EXTEND THE GEAR. THEN THE FIRST THING HE REALIZED WAS A "CLICK, CLICK" SOUND.  HE THEN PULLED BACK ON THE STICK AND INITIATED A GO AROUND. THE GO AROUND WAS UNEVENTFUL WITH THE PILOT STATING THE PROPS LOOKED INTACT AND THERE WAS NO VIBRATION, WITH THE ONLY ABNORMALITY BEING THAT THE PLANE CLIMBED SLOWLY. THE PILOT WAS ABLE TO LAND THE PLANE SAFELY.

THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO BOTH PROPS.

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.
