What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) During the approach to landing the landing gear was not extended by the pilot. The airplane touched down on runway 12R 1800 feet from the threshold. The airplane skid 570 feet before coming to rest. The airplane touched down on the centerline and remained on the centerline. At some point during the skid the lower fuel drain on the engine cowling sheared and sparks from the cowling's contact with the pavement caused an after landing fire. As a result of the fire the lower left hand portion of the cowling was destroyed. Due to heat from the fire the left leading edge of the left wing and left hand wing spar sustained heat damage. The windscreeen and inside of the aircraft and it's contents had smoke and heat damage. The pilot was the sole occupant and escaped without injury. VMC conditions and light and variable wind prevailed.
