## Narrative

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

(-23)ON 5/15/01 AT APPROXIMATELY 1015PDT, THE PILOT WAS PILOT IN COMMAND OF N6804R, A CE-210 THAT LANDED GEAR UP AT MADERA AIRPORT. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE FAILED TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR PRIOR TO LANDING AND ATTRIBUTED THIS TO HIS NOT USING A BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST. HE MENTIONED THAT HE USUALLY FLIES WITH HIS WIFE WHO IS ALSO A PRIVATE PILOT AND BELIEVES THAT HER ABSENCE MAY HAVE BEEN A FACTOR SINCE THEY BACK EACH OTHER UP WHEN FLYING TOGETHER. THE PILOT DID NOT HEAR THE GEAR WARNING HORN PRIOR TO LANDING AND A POSTFLIGHT INSPECTION BY A CERTIFICATED MECHANIC REVEALED THE GEAR WARNING SYSTEM WAS INOPERATIVE.

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.
