What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Pilot stated that he and a private pilot departed dayton enroute to Richmond to practice takeoffs and landings. They had decided to leave the landing gear down while in the pattern. privacy data omitted A CFII stated he had unconsciously retracted the gear after departure. On final approach he was predisposed to think the gear was in fact down as it did not register that the gear lights were not on. He had a little extra power on because of the forward slip he was demonstrating so the gear horn never sounded.
