What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: on 4/14/96, N3949W, a Piper aircraft model PA-31, executed an approach for landing, runway 26 (cxl). The aircraft landed gear-up. The pilot and four passengers were not injured and the aircraft received minor damage. The pilot states that shortly following his turn to a one mile final, he noticed runway traffic moving very slowly. He elected to keep his gear retracted for a possible go-around. He further states the traffic cleared the active runway sooner than he expected and he hastily resumed the approach for landing; however, he failed to lower the landing gear. This incident did not involve a NMAC or a pilot deviation.
