## Narrative

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

ON AUGUST 26, 2024, A CESSNA 320E REGISTERED AS ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ (SERIAL NUMBER 320E-0095) WAS BEING OPERATED BETWEEN ATLANTA, GA AND SOMERSET, KY. DURING THE FLIGHT THE PILOT WAS ATTEMPTING TO LAND WITH THE GEAR UP AND DURING THE GO AROUND, THE PROPELLERS ON BOTH ENGINES IMPACTED THE GROUND. DURING THE INVESTIGATION THE PILOT STATED HE HAD A CABIN DOOR OPEN LIGHT AND WAS FOCUSED ON THATDURING THE LANDING. HE REALIZED THE GEAR WAS UP AND WENT AROUND BUT WAS TOO LOW.

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.
