AIRMAN INDICATED HE WAS DISTRACTED BY TRAFFIC IN THE AREA THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN VISUAL CONTACT WITH AND SUBSEQUENTLY FORGOT TO PUT THE LANDING GEAR DOWN. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SMOOTHLY ON THE PAVEMENT BUT CAME TO A STOP SIGNIFICANTLY SHORTER THAN USUAL. KEEL STRIPS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FLOATS SHOWED SIGNS OF WEAR AFTER THE INCIDENT.

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.
