## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT WAS FERRYING N8182M FROM ITS MAINTENANCE BASE AT MONTEREY, CA. TO ITS HOME BASE AT SALINAS, CA. WHILE ENTERING A RIGHT BASE LEG FOR RUNWAY 13, TOWER CALLED BEECH BARON TRAFFIC ON RIGHT DOWNWIND TO BE FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER A/C ON LEFT DOWNWIND. PILOT REMEMBERS GOING THROUGH HIS CHECKLIST AND REACHING FOR THE GEAR SWITCH. HE COULD NOT LOCATE THE BARON AND WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC. HOWEVER, THE TRAFFIC DISTRACTION INTERRUPTED HIS ROUTINE BEFORE HE EXTENDED THE LANDING GEAR. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE HEARD NO GEAR WARNING HORN DURING THE DESCENT TO A GEAR-UP LANDING.

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.
