## Narrative

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

ON AN INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT, DOING A SIMULATED ENGINE OUT (LEFT ENGINE) INTO HNZ, THE CFI STATED THAT HE BELIEVES THEY BROUGHT THE GEAR DOWN AND SAW THREE GREEN LIGHTS, BUT STATED THAT HE DID NOT CHECK THE MIRROR TO SEE THAT THE GEAR WAS DOWN.  REGARDLESS, THE GEAR WAS NOT VERIFIED DOWN PROPERLY, AND WAS NOT DOWN WHEN THEY CAME IN TO LAND ON RUNWAY 6.  THE PROPELLERS SCRAPED THE RUNWAY AND THEY INITIATED A GO-AROUND.  THEY RETURNED SAFELY TO RUNWAY 24 WITH THE GEAR DOWN.  THE PROPELLERS WERE DAMAGED, AS WELL AS THE TRAILING EDGE OF THE FLAPS, THE STEP, AND TWO ANTENNAE UNDERNEATH THE AIRCRAFT.  THESE WERE DAMAGED FROM SCRAPING THE RUNWAY.  NO ADDITIONAL DAMAGE WAS NOTED.

THE STUDENT PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WAS TRAINING TOWARD A MULTI-ENGINE RATING AND DID NOT HAVE ONE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.

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.
