What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) While landing on runway 22 at the Solberg airport, the pilot stated he overlooked checking if the landing gear was in the down position. The pilot stated he was on an IFR flight plan from columbus, OH. He stated ATC cleared him from 5,000 feet to 2,500 feet. To silence his gear horn for the descent, he added power and brought the manifold pressure from 15 inches to 16 inches. From that point on, he only reduced the power further. The pilot felt there may have been a problem with the microswitch causing the horn not to sound again.
