## Narrative

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

(-23) WHILE PRACTICING PATTERNS FOR A BIENNIAL FLIGHT REVIEW THE PILOT FAILED TO PERFORM HIS CHECKLIST AND FAILED TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN ON THE TURF LANDING STRIP. THE PILOT WAS ALONE DURING THE FLIGHT AND WAS THE OWNER OF THE AIRCRAFT.  VINLAND VALLEY AERODROME (K64) IS A SOD STRIP LOCATED NEAR THE UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY OF VINLAND, KS AND IS NOT USED FOR COMMERCIAL AIR TRAVEL.

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.
