## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: MR. MONTGOMERY WAS TO CONCLUDE HIS PROFICIENCY FLIGHT WITH A SIMULATED ENGINE-OUT APPROACH TO A FULL STOP LANDING. ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC CAUSED HIM TO DELAY THE PLANNED EXTENSION OF THE GEAR. THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS ABOARD AND MINIMAL DISRUPTION TO OTHER GENERAL AVIATION OPERATIONS. MR. MONTGOMERY RECENTLY COMPLETED REFRESHER TRAINING. THE EVIDENCE DOES NOT SUBSTANTIATE INCOMPETENCE OR CARELESSNESS AND ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION BEYOND COUNSELING IS NOT SUPPORTED BY FINDINGS.

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.
