## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS PREOCCUPIED LOOKING FOR TRAFFIC AND HANDLING AN ELECTRIC TRIM MALFUNCTION AND HE DID NOT CONFIRM LANDING GEAR POSITION BEFORE LANDING. AIRCRAFT LANDED ON BELLY WITH MINOR DAMAGE AND NO INJURIES TO THE PILOT OR PASSENGERS. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ SUBMISSION OF THIS REPORT CLOSES THIS INCIDENT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
