## Narrative

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

(-23)WHILE THE AIRCRAFT WAS ON THE DOWNWIND FOR LANDING, THE PILOT REDUCED POWER TO START HIS DECENT FOR THE RUNWAY. AS THE POWER WAS RETARDED, TH GEAR WARNING HORN SOUNDED AS THE LANDING GEAR WAS STILL IN THE UP POSITION.  THE A-45 IS EQUIPPED WITH A LANDING GEAR HORN SHUT OFF WHICH THE PILOT USED TO SILENCE THE HORN AS TO NOT ALARM HIS PASSENGER.  BEFORE THE AIRCRAFT TURNED FINAL FOR THE RUNWAY, THE REAR SEAT PASSENGER SAID THAT HE WAS NOT FEELING WELL.  THE PILOT OPENED THE CANOPY SO THE PASSENGER COULD GET SOME FRESH AIR.  THE PILOT CONTINUED HIS APPROACH FOR LANDING WITHOUT PUTTING THE LANDING GEAR IN THE DOWN POSITION.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED GEAR UP.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
