## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING A FLIGHT FROM CAT ISLAND (MYCA), BAHAMAS TO KENDALL TAMIAMI EXECUTIVE AIRPORT (TMB), DURING LANDING AT TMB, THE PILOT FORGOT TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR AND AIRCRAFT EFFECTED A BELLY LANDING. BOTH PROPELLERS WERE BENT REARWARD AND OPPOSITE TO ROTATION, BOTH ENGINES RECEIVED SUDDEN STOPPAGE, LANDING GEAR DOORS WERE SCRAPED. THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE TO ALL THREE LANDING GEAR DOORS. PILOT AND PASSENGER WERE NOT INJURED. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT THE WEATHER WAS VFR. THE FLIGHT WAS ON A VFR FLIGHT PLAN.

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.
