## Narrative

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

(-23) ON DECEMBER 22, 2005, AT APPROXIMATELY 1740 PACIFIC STANDARD TIME, A MOONEY 20J, N201RA, MADE A GEAR UP LANDING AT CHINO AIRPORT, CHINO CALIFORNIA. THE AIRPLANE, WHICH SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE, WAS OPERATED BY THE OWNER/PILOT. THE COMMERCIAL PILOT, THE SOLE OCCUPANT, SUSTAINED NO INJURIES. THE PERSONAL FLIGHT OPERATING UNDER 14 CFR PART 91 OF THE FEDERAL AVIATION REGULATIONS ORIGINATED AT CHINO, CALIFORNIA, AT APPROXIMATELY 1730 PACIFIC STANDARD TIME, AND WAS DESTINED FOR WHITEMAN AIRPORT. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED IN THE INCIDENT AREA, AND NO FLIGHT PLAN HAD BEEN FILED. THE PILOT STATED THAT SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, DURING CLIMB, HE NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPING OFF AND THE OIL AND CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE RISING. HE CONTACTED THE TOWER, INFORMED THEM OF THE SITUATION AND RETURNED TO THE AIRPORT. HE STATED THAT DURING THE LANDING, DUE TO HIS MONITORING OF THE ENGINE PARAMETERS AND BEING UNFAMILIAR WITH THE AIRPORT HE JUST PLAIN FORGOT TO PUT THE 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.
