## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT DEPARTED EL RENO (F28) ENROUTE TO GUTHRIE (GOK). DURING CLIMB OUT, PILOT THOUGHT THAT THE PROPELLER RPM WAS NOT WHAT IT SHOULD BE, SO HE DECIDED TO RETURN TO EL RENO AIRPORT AND HAVE MAINTENANCE LOOK AT IT. PILOT WAS DISTRACTED WITH THE RPM GAUGE AND FORGOT TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR.

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.
