The instructional flight was operated under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 with no flight plan filed. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed. The certified flight instructor (CFI) and pilot rated student reported no injuries. The airplane sustained substantial damage. The flight departed from PDK on a local training flight on February 7, 2008, about 1530.
According to the CFI, he and the pilot rated student were approaching to land on runway 20R. After completing the pre-landing checklist they checked the under-wing mirror and noticed that the main landing gear were not down and locked.
