## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED THAT RIGHT FRONT SEAT PX BECAME ILL & PIC RETURNED FOR LANDING. WHEN HE PULLED THE THROTTLE BACK ENGINE MADE POPPING NOISE, SO HE KEPT POWER UNTIL JUST BEFORE LANDING.  RIGHT BEFORE TOUCHDOWN PIC RETARDED THROTTLE, GEAR HORN WENT OFF & PLANE LANDED WITHOUT GEAR.

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.
