## Narrative

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

(-23) AN AIRPORT EMPLOYEE OBSERVED N259M AT 60 FEET ABOVE THE RUNWAY WITH LANDING GEAR RETRACTED. THE OBSERVER CALLED GROUND CONTROL ON HIS RADIO TO REPORT THE AIRCRAFT LANDING WITH GEAR UP. THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER OPERATOR INSTRUCTED N259M TO GO AROUND, BUT THE AIRCRAFT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TOUCHING DOWN. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH GEAR RETRACTED, SKIDDED TO A STOP ON THE RUNWAY, AND THE PILOT AND ONE PASSENGER EXITED THE AIRCRAFT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES, AND NO DAMAGE TO RUNWAY LIGHTS. THE AIRCRAFT, OWNED BY THE PILOT, RECEIVED ONLY MINOR DAMAGE. THE PILOT STATED TO THE AIRPORT EMPLOYEE THAT HE HAD FORGOTTEN TO PUT THE LANDING GEAR DOWN.

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.
