## Narrative

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

(-23) THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED FROM VISALIA, CA (VIS). UPON ARRIVAL AT SANTA ANA, CA (SNA) THE PILOT WAS BEING VECTORED FOR LANDING DUE TO ATC HANDLING AN EMERGENCY AT SNA. THE PILOT STATED THAT WHILE BEING VECTORED, HE BECAME CONCERNED ABOUT AN UNUSUALLY LOW READING ON THE AIRCRAFT TIT GAUGE AND HIS ATTENTION TO PROCEDURES WAS DISTRACTED. WHEN HE WAS CLEARED FOR LANDING FROM AN UNUSUALLY HIGH TRAFFIC PATTERN ALTITUDE, HE MAINTAINED HIGHER THAN NORMAL ENGINE POWER AND USED THE AIRCRAFT SPEED BRAKES FOR A RAPID DESCENT AND DURING THE LANDING ROUNDOUT, HE FORGOT TO PUT THE LANDING GEAR DOWN, WHICH RESULTED IN THE AIRCRAFT LANDING WITH THE LANDING GEAR RETRACTED.

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.
