Narrative:
The Wabusk Air Beechcraft A100 aircraft was on approach into Kapukasing Airport. At touchdown on runway 17 when engine power was reduced the aircraft settled on to the runway. The propellers contacted the runway surface and the aircraft slid to a stop partially off the runway surface. The aircraft received damage to both propellers and the underside of the fuselage. A small fire erupted on the number two engine but was quickly extinguished by ARFF. There were no injuries to the two flight crew. When the engine power levers were moved to a low power setting prior to touchdown there was no landing gear up warning horn heard.
