What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot privacy data omitted was practicing touch-and-go landings. After the second landing, dto tower instructed the pilot to extend his downwind leg. As the outside air temperature was 99 degrees and the aircraft had a bubble canopy, the temperature in the cockpit was even hotter. The pilot was trying to deflate the canopy seal in an attempt to allow cooling air into the cockpit and failed to extend the landing gear. The pilot did not realize the landing gear was not extended until the propeller hit the runway. The aircraft sustained minor damage.
