## Narrative

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

(-23) ON APPROACH FOR LANDING WITH TWO PASSENGERS ABOARD, THE PIC DISCOVERED DURING THE FINAL FLARE TO LAND THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS NOT DOWN. THE PILOT INITIATED A REJECTED LANDING PROCEDURE, HOWEVER THE AIRCRAFT MADE CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT MADE A SUCCESSFUL GO AROUND, LOWERED THE LANDING GEAR AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED TO PASSENGERS. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE PROPS, FLAPS AND LOWER FUSELAGE.

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.
