## Narrative

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

(-23)PILOT ADMITTED TO BEING DISTRACTED BY INBOUND TRAFFIC TO LDM, AND HE FORGOT TO EXTEND LANDING GEAR.  PILOT SO STATED THAT HE DID NOT REMEMBER HEARING ANY GEAR WARNING HORN DURING LANDING.  HE WAS ADVISED TO HAVE GEAR HORN SYSTEM CHECKED DURING AIRCRAFT REPAIR FOR GEAR DAMAGE.  IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM, HE WAS INSTRUCTED TO HAVE HIS MECHANIC SUBMIT AN M OR D REPORT.

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.
