What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: while on a pleasure flight from Burlington, Iowa, to keokuk, Iowa, to Burlington, the pilot experienced a problem with the flaps. The flaps would not lower to a partial setting but could be selected to a full down position. While working with the flaps, the pilot forgot to lower the landing gear. He was using the wing spoilers to slow his speed, and therefore, using enough power to prevent the gear horn from activating. The propeller and belly of the aircraft was damaged as a result of a gear up landing. This incident is considered closed with this report.
