## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: PILOT STATED THEY WERE COMING IN FOR LANDING WHEN THEY WERE DISTRACTED MOMENTARILY AND NEGLECTED TO LOWER THE GEAR AND ALSO DID NOT CHECK FOR PROPER LIGHTS FOR GEAR DOWN INDICATION. AIRCRAFT TOUCHED GROUND WITH PROPELLER AND BOTTOM ANTENNA BLADES SCRAPING THE GROUND AND STOPPING AIRPLANE ON RUNWAY. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
