JUST PRIOR TO ENTERING THE PATTERN MR. HOWARD HOLDORF TOOK OVER THE PILOT IN COMMAND ROLE FROM JEFF KAUL FOR LANDING. DURING THIS TRANSITION THE PIC FAILED TO LOWER THE GEAR FOR LANDING AND TOUCHED DOWN GEAR-UP. THE FLIGHT WAS OPERATED UNDER 14 CFR PART 91, VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL PREVAILED AT THE TIME. NO INJURIES, NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT, OTHER THAN PROPS.

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.
