## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT DID NOT COMPLETE HIS BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST. HE WAS CLOSELY FOLLOWING A SD-3-60. WHEN CLEARED TO LAND, HE FORGOT THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS NOT DOWN. RIGHT PROPELLER STRUCK THE GROUND AND A GO-AROUND WAS EXECUTED. AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING FOLLOWED.

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.
