## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT SAID HE FORGOT TO PUT THE LANDING GEAR DOWN BEFORE LANDING. HE NORMALLY USES A BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST AND THE ACRONYM GUMPS AS HIS FINAL CHECK. HE SAID HE BECAME DISTRACTED TRYING TO SPOT TRAFFIC IN THE PATTERN THAT WAS POINTED OUT BY THE CONTROL TOWER. HE THOUGHT HE SAW THE LANDING GEAR DOWN LIGHTS ILLUMINATED BUT THE BRIGHT SETTING SUN WASHED OUT HIS INDICATOR LIGHTS.
