## Narrative

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

(-23)THE PILOT DID NOT REALIZE THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS NOT EXTENDED. INITIALLY THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE WAS NOT SURE IF THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED OR IF HE FORGOT THE LANDING GEAR.  WHEN THE AIRCRAFT WAS INSPECTED, THE LANDING GEAR SELECTOR WAS IN THE DOWN POSITION.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RAISED OFF THE GROUND, AND WHEN THE MASTER SWITCH WAS TURNED ON, THE LANDING GEAR EXTENDED NORMALLY.  THE LANDING GEAR OPERATED NORMALLY.  MAINTENANCE COULD NOT GET THE LANDING GEAR TO MALFUNCTION.  THERE WERE MARKS ON THE RUNWAY THAT WERE MADE BY THE BELLY, FLAPS AND PROP, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE AIRPLANE LANDED WITH THE LANDING GEAR RETRACTED.

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.
