What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Skipped sideways on crosswind landing. Went around. Distracted by traffic on second attempt. Landed gear up. (-23) airplane touched down on runway 3 abq. The x-wind was blowing the plane toward the side of the runway so the pilot executed a go-around. He was distracted by an airliner on the runway and concerned with the crosswind and forgot to lower the gear on the 2nd landing. The airplane skidded to a stop and the pilot and passengers deplaned. The prop was damaged on all 3 prop blades and the belly skins were scraped off. The main fuselage stringer was ground down and will require extensive disassembly to repair.
