Narrative:Piper PA-24-250 Commanche N7348P: Substantially damaged 14 July 2020 in a "wheels up" belly landing at Temple Bruer private strip, Lincolnshire due to pilot error. The AAIB conducted a correspondence investigation into the incident, and the following is the summary from it:
"The pilot omitted to select the gear down prior to landing, causing damage to the fuselage and propeller on touchdown. He heard the gear warning horn as he closed the throttle but mistook it for the stall warning, which has a similar sound and often operates just prior to touchdown".
