Factual narrative
DURING THE FINAL LEG OF A DOMESTIC SCHEDULED COMMUTER AIRLINE FLIGHT THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH THE LANDING GEAR IN THE RETRACTED POSITION. THE CAPTAIN COULD NOT RECALL PLACING THE GEAR SELECTOR HANDLE IN THE DOWN POSITION AND THE CO-PILOT COULD NOT REMEMBER CALLING FOR 'GEAR DOWN' DURING THE 'BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST'. THE CO-PILOT WAS FLYING THE LEG AND THE CAPTAIN WAS PERFORMING THE CO-PILOT FUNCTIONS. AS THE PROPELLERS CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY APPROX. 6 INCHES OF A RIGHT PROPELLER BLADE SEPARATED AND PENETRATED THE FUSELAGE AT ROW 2, SEAT 'B'. THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS SEATED IN THE AREA AT THAT TIME. NO MECHANICAL DISCREPANCIES WERE REPORTED BY THE CREW PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT AND A LANDING GEAR SYSTEM CHECK AFTER THE ACCIDENT DID NOT REVEAL ANY MECHANICAL DIFFICIENCIES.
