Narrative

RPTR COMMENCED DUTY DAY AT AM30 CST AND FLT INSTRUCTED OR WAS PRESENT AT THE ARPT UNTIL THE TIME OF THE EVENT. RPTR WAS SUFFERING FROM A COLD FOR WHICH NO MEDICATION HAD BEEN TAKEN AT THE TIME OF THE EVENT. THE ACFT WAS EQUIPPED WITH A SINGLE THROW-OVER YOKE. RPTR DID NOT HAVE CTLS IN FRONT OF HIM AT THE TIME OF EVENT. ACFT EQUIPPED WITH STOL KIT. THIS FLT WAS THE SECOND OR THIRD TIME RPTR HAD FLOWN IN THE ACFT WITH THE PF. DURING THE FLT PRECEDING THE EVENT; THE PF DEMONSTRATED STEEP TURNS; SLOW FLT AND MULTIPLE TKOF AND LNDGS TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A NEIGHBORING ARPT (AHQ). THEREAFTER; RETURNED TO MLE; CONDUCTED TWO MORE FULL-STOP LNDGS PRIOR TO THE FLT DURING WHICH EVENT OCCURRED. THE EVENT: THE ACFT DEPARTED MLE AND MADE CLOSED; L-HAND TFC. WHEN THE PF TURNED FINAL; RPTR FELT THAT ACFT WAS TOO HIGH TO EFFECT A NORMAL LNDG. RPTR ATTEMPTED TO INDICATE TO THE PF THAT A GAR WAS APPROPRIATE. THE PF DEMURRED AND INSTEAD EXTENDED FULL FLAPS IN AN ATTEMPT TO LAND. RPTR DID NOT ATTEMPT TO FORCE A GAR; IN PART; DUE TO HIS INABILITY TO TAKE CTL OF THE ACFT. RPTR FIXATED ON THE REMAINING RWY AND; CONSEQUENTLY; FAILED TO VISUALLY VERIFY THE LNDG GEAR WAS DOWN DURING THE FINAL APCH. THE PF; IN FACT; HAD NOT EXTENDED THE LNDG GEAR. EXCEPT FOR THE LACK OF LNDG GEAR; THE LNDG WAS OTHERWISE UNEVENTFUL. THE ACFT SUFFERED INCIDENT TYPE DAMAGE CONSISTING OF BENT PROP BLADES; AND SCRAPING OF THE STEP; BELLY AND FLAPS.
