## Narrative

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

MR. PORTERFIELD STATED HE WAS ON SHORT FINAL, FOR LANDING, WHEN A GOLF CART ON THE RUNWAY FORCED HIM TO MAKE A GO-AROUND.  ON THE SECOND APPROACH HE FORGOT TO PUT THE GEAR DOWN.  HE STATED EVERYTHING WAS WORKING PROPERLY, INCLUDING THE GEAR WARNING HORN, WHICH HE THOUGHT WAS JUST THE STALL WARNING HORN.

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.
