What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot stated that he had decided to practice engine out procedures and had pulled back the power to idle for the procedure. He stated he had conciously left the gear in the up position longer than he normally would to reduce drag. About the same time he said a pilot was transitioning over the airport and was talking on the radio in a broken english accent, excessivly. The pilot continued base and final approach, realized he was too low, added power that pitched the aircraft nose down and the propeller stuck the ground and the aircraft settled to the asphault runway.
