## Narrative

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

ON JUNE 21, 1999, AT 1730 CDT, A BEECH BE-35-C33, N9010S, MADE A GEAR-UP LANDING AT HARTFORD MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (HSF). THE COMMERCIAL PILOT AND ONE PASSENGER WERE NOT INJURED AND THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE. THE AIRCRAFT WAS BEING OPERATED AS A PLEASURE FLIGHT UNDER 14CFR PART 91 WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED AT THE HARTFORD AIRPORT UNDER VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS AND NO FLIGHT PLAN WAS FILED. DURING AN INTERVIEW WITH THE PILOT, MR. GREGORY KWASNY, HE ADMITTED THAT HE BECAME DISTRACTED DURING APPROACH AND DID NOT PUT THE LANDING GEAR DOWN. THE AIRCRAFT IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH AN AURAL LANDING GEAR WARNING SYSTEM. WHEN THE AIRCRAFT WAS RAISED WITH AIRBAGS, THE LANDING GEAR WAS EXTENDED MANUALLY AND NO MECHANICAL DEFECTS WERE FOUND WITH LANDING GEAR SYSTEM. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE NOSE GEAR DOORS, INBOARD TRAILING EDGE OF BOTH FLAPS, BOTH EXHAUST PIPES, AND THE PROPELLER.

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.
