## Narrative

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

2 FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS WERE DOING TRAINING FOR THEIR PROFICIENCY TIME. DURING THE THIRD LANDNG, THEY WERE PERFORMING A POWER OFF 180 ACCURACY LANDING. POWER WAS AT IDLE. FLAPS WERE DOWN AND THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN WITH NO LANDING GEAR DOWN. THE PROPELLOR HIT THE GROUND AND THE PILOT KILLED THE POWER. THEY CAME TO A STOP AND EVACUATED THE AIRCRAFT WITH NO INJURIES REPORTED.

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.
