What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: Mr. Baxter stated the following on 03/03/98 at the sat FSDO: "at approximately 1755 hrs I saw the field, canceled my ifr/flight plan, squawked 1200, reduced power, extended approach flaps, lined up with the runway, went to full forward RPM, put my gas on fuller tank, mixture full rich, that is, I did a "gump" check, except I failed to put my gear down." "I put down full flaps as I approached the threshold and trimmed nose-up for landing, it seemed that the airplane floated a bit more than usual so I came to idle just before touchdown." Touchdown was smooth, but I thought the noise of touchdown was noisy-like landing on gravel or psp."
