## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: PILOT LANDED A/C WITHOUT LOWERING THE LANDING GEAR. A/C LANDED ON THE FLOATS. NO DAMAGE. WEATHER CONDITION WAS VFR. COUNSELING WAS ADMINISTERED REGARDING THE PROPER USE OF THE A/C CHECKLIST.

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.
