## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT LANDED AIRPLANE WITH LANDING GEAR RETRACTED. WITNESSES STATED THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS RETRACTED ON SHORT FINAL. MULTIPLE WITNESSES ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE AIRPLANE BY RADIO TO INFORM THE PILOT OF THE LANDING GEAR POSITION. NO RADIO CONTACT WAS MADE PRIOR TO LANDING.

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.
