Incident Report
The pilot of an aircraft stated that he allowed the aircraft to become low on final approach. This resulted in a collision with terrain, which caused the landing gear to separate from the aircraft. Despite the impact, the pilot maintained control as the aircraft rebounded from the ground, and he executed a successful go-around. With an escort, the pilot diverted to a nearby military airport where Crash Fire Rescue (CFR) facilities were available. At that airport, the pilot performed a successful no-wheels landing.
The pilot also reported that earlier in the day, he had flown 4.5 hours under the hood (simulated instrument flight rules training), including seven instrument approaches, during a 250-mile cross-country flight.
No additional information, such as aircraft type, registration, location, or injuries, was provided in the source report.
