## Narrative

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

(-23)PILOT WAS LANDING AT THE HALIFAX COUNTY AIRPORT (RZZ). PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS SURE HE HAD "HANDLED THE GEAR ON DOWNWIND", BUT THE GEAR WAS NOT DOWN WHEN HE LANDED.  THE ONLY DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WAS TO THE FLAPS, PROPELLERS AND ENGINES.  THE PILOT IS CERTIFIED IN SWITZLERLAND AND THE AIRCRAFT IS REGISTERED IN SWITZERLAND.  HE WAS REPORTEDLY ON A TRIP AROUND THE WORLD WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED.

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.
