## Narrative

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

PILOT #2 WAS PRACTICING FULL STOP LANDINGS AS PART OF HIS TRANSITION TRAINING FROM A SINGLE ENGINE LAND CESSNA 172 TO A COMPLEX, RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR MOONEY M20E. FIRST LANDING WAS COMPLETED WITHOUT INCIDENT. DURING SECOND LANDING APPROACH, THE PILOT FLYING (PILOT #2) WAS TOO HIGH. PILOT #1, THE CFI, TOLD HIM TO REPOSITION TO LAND ON RUNWAY 12. ON THE DOWNWIND LEG NEITHER PILOT COMPLETED THE GUMP CHECK. LINING UP ON FINAL EVERYTHING LOOKED GREAT. AIRCRAFT LANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RUNWAY AND SLID APPROXIMATELY 593 FEET FROM THE INITIAL PROPELLER STRIKE. LANDING GEAR HAD NOT BEEN SELECTED DOWN. NEITHER PILOT WAS INJURED. MINOR DAMAGE TO THE BELLY OF THE AIRCRAFT. NO POST LANDING FIRE.

IN HIS STATEMENT PILOT #1 SAID THAT "ABEAM THE NUMBERS, I CALLED OUT FUEL PUMP ON, DROP THE GEAR, AND GET INTO THE WHITE ARC OF THE AIRSPEED INDICATOR, AND DROP THE FIRST NOTCH OF FLAPS." NEITHER PILOT VERIFIED THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED.  ACCORDING TO PILOT #1 THE LANDING GEAR HORN NEVER SOUNDED WHICH SHOULD HAVE OCCURRED WHEN THE MANIFOLD PRESSURE REACHED ABOUT 10 INCHES. DURING THE FINAL APPROACH HE STATES THAT THE THROTTLE WAS AT IDLE DUE TO BEING TOO HIGH AND TOO FAST INITIALLY.

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.
