## Narrative

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

N343DB PILOTED BY SINGLE CREW, WAS OUT ON A NICE VFR DAY FLYING AND PRACTICING SOME APPROACHES AND LANDINGS.  HE HAD FLOWN TO KSTC WHERE HE HAD PERFORMED ONE APPROACH.  HE WAS NOW RETURNING TO HOME BASE.  THE PIC PERFORMED A SERIES OF MEMORIZED POWER SETTINGS AND AIRSPEEDS PER A TECHNIQUE DOCUMENT THAT HE USES FOR PRACTICE IFR APPROACHES.  HE WAS SHOOTING A CIRLE TO LAND APPROACH.  THE ASI HAD THE PIC CHAIRFLY HIS FLIGHT, AT NO POINT DID THE PIC MENTION A BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST.  ASI REVIEWED THE TECHNIQUE SHEET, IN DISCOVERY NOTED THAT NO WHERE ON THE DOCUMENT WAS BEFORE LANDING CHECKS MENTIONED.  THE AIRCRAFT RODE DOWN THE PAVED RUNWAY ON THE FLAPS AND NOSE GEAR DOORS.  THE AIRPLANE WAS ON IT'S GEAR IN THE HANGAR DURING FAA INSPECTION.  WING, FIREWALL AND FUSELAGE BELLY SHOWED NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF DAMAGE.  AT A MINIMUM REPAIR TO ENGINE FOR PROP STRIKES, 3XPROPS, BOTH FLAPS, NOSE GEAR DOORS, AND EXHAUST PIPING EXTENDING TO THE UNDERSIDE.  THE PIC WAS ASKED IF HE HEARD A GEAR WARNING HORN AND IF SO HOW DOES HE SILENCE IT.  HE HEARD IT AND IS THE HABIT OF SILENCING IT BY PUSHING THE RED BUTTON.  HE WAS COUNSELED THAT IT WOULD BE PREFERRED TO SILENCE THE HORN WITH ACTION, LIKE PUTTING DOWN THE GEAR OR ADDING POWER AND CLIMBING, NOT HABITUAL BUTTON PUSHING.

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.
