## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING THE APPROACH TO RWY 26 AT FTG MR. BRANNON, THE PILOT OF N6981T, WAS DISTRACTED BY ANOTHER A/C WHO HAD MADE A RADIO CALL INFORMING OTHER A/C THAT HE WAS DEPARTING ON RWY 8. MR. BRANNON DECIDED TO GO AROUND AND RADIOED HIS INTENTION WHEN THE OTHER A/C RADIOED AND SAID HE WOULD HOLD SHORT UNTIL MR. BRANNON LANDED. HE THOUGHT HE WAS STILL CONFIGURED FOR LANDING BUT HAD FORGOTTEN TO PUT THE GEAR DOWN AND SUBSEQUENTLY MADE A GEAR UP LANDING, DAMAGING THE A/C.
