What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
After practicing maneuvers for the instructional flight lesson the aircraft returned to the airport for landing.
On the final approach to landing phase of the flight the instructor took control of the aircraft from the student and corrected the speed and altitude of the aircraft on short final. At approximately 1 mile final the instructor had returned the aircraft to a stabilized approach and returned the controls to the student.
As the aircraft entered ground effect above the runway the student began settling the aircraft to the runway. After being notified of the gear being in the up position by the tower, the instructor took controls and attempted to initiate a go-around; however, the propellers had already impacted the ground and a go-around was not possible. The aircraft settled to the ground with the landing gear retracted and slid to a stop to the left of the runway centerline. The instructor and student then exited the aircraft, stepped off the runway and awaited the response vehicles.
