What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Mr. Phillips stated that while on approach to lbt airport (ILS rwy 5), he selected the gear down but did not confirm that the gear was down and locked. He did state that after lowering the gear he felt the drag on the aircraft that is experienced when the gear is extended. Upon landing, the aircraft slid to a stop with no injuries. During inspection of the aircraft, the landing gear retraction screw and attachment was found torn from the mounting structure. The transmission screw was found in the extended position (eleven threads visible), and the landing gear motor circuit breaker was popped. The aircraft suffered damage to the belly skin, the propeller, and the engine exhaust pipe. The landing gear, tires, and doors showed no evidence of impact damage. The brake calipers outboard leading edge of both r/h and l/h brakes did show signs of minor scraping damage.
