Narrative:

The flight was part of a training check for multi-engine. The pilot, in control of the plane at the time of the incident, is rated in multi-engine. A single engine approach was being conducted and upon arrival at the runway the altitude was wrong. A go around was initiated and at the same time, scraping noises came from the aircraft. The go around was continued. An assessment of possible damage was made and it was decided that it was better to fly to daytona beach international airport, as they had superior equipment in the case of an emergency. The aircraft was able to be flown with ease and a normal landing resulted in daytona. A distraction of the radio noise at uncontrolled airports momentarily had my attention and normal landing procedures were delayed. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated that the reason that a go around was performed and the aircraft scraped the runway was due to not having the landing gear extended. Due radio noise distraction, reporter did not notice that the gear was not down until the aircraft was coming too close to the runway. Since one of the engine throttles was retarded for simulation of an engine out, the gear warning horn had been silenced, therefore, the horn did not sound during the landing flare. In addition to both propellers striking the runway, the right trailing edge of the wing flap and the entrance step also scraped the runway.

Title: PLT OF AN SMA TWIN DURING A PRACTICE SINGLE ENG APCH HAD BOTH PROPS, THE R FLAP, AND ENTRANCE STEP STRIKE THE RWY DURING A GAR. RPTR CHK PLT STATED THAT THE ACFT ATTITUDE WAS NOT CORRECT FOR LNDG AND A SCRAPING NOISE WAS HEARD DURING THE GAR. A DIVERSION TO AN ALTERNATE ARPT WITH EMER GND EQUIP AVAILABLE WAS MADE SINCE THE AMOUNT OF ACFT DAMAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

Narrative: THE FLT WAS PART OF A TRAINING CHK FOR MULTI-ENG. THE PLT, IN CTL OF THE PLANE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, IS RATED IN MULTI-ENG. A SINGLE ENG APCH WAS BEING CONDUCTED AND UPON ARR AT THE RWY THE ALT WAS WRONG. A GAR WAS INITIATED AND AT THE SAME TIME, SCRAPING NOISES CAME FROM THE ACFT. THE GAR WAS CONTINUED. AN ASSESSMENT OF POSSIBLE DAMAGE WAS MADE AND IT WAS DECIDED THAT IT WAS BETTER TO FLY TO DAYTONA BEACH INTL ARPT, AS THEY HAD SUPERIOR EQUIP IN THE CASE OF AN EMER. THE ACFT WAS ABLE TO BE FLOWN WITH EASE AND A NORMAL LNDG RESULTED IN DAYTONA. A DISTR OF THE RADIO NOISE AT UNCTLED ARPTS MOMENTARILY HAD MY ATTN AND NORMAL LNDG PROCS WERE DELAYED. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR STATED THAT THE REASON THAT A GAR WAS PERFORMED AND THE ACFT SCRAPED THE RWY WAS DUE TO NOT HAVING THE LNDG GEAR EXTENDED. DUE RADIO NOISE DISTR, RPTR DID NOT NOTICE THAT THE GEAR WAS NOT DOWN UNTIL THE ACFT WAS COMING TOO CLOSE TO THE RWY. SINCE ONE OF THE ENG THROTTLES WAS RETARDED FOR SIMULATION OF AN ENG OUT, THE GEAR WARNING HORN HAD BEEN SILENCED, THEREFORE, THE HORN DID NOT SOUND DURING THE LNDG FLARE. IN ADDITION TO BOTH PROPS STRIKING THE RWY, THE R TRAILING EDGE OF THE WING FLAP AND THE ENTRANCE STEP ALSO SCRAPED THE RWY.
