## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT STATED HE AND ANOTHER PASSENGER WERE ENROUTE BACK FROM KIWA AND ELECTED TO FOLLOW THE VOR APPROACH INTO KCGZ.  PILOT STATED HE REMEMBERS CALLING OUT THE GEAR DURING HIS PRELANDING CHECKLIST AND STATES HE PUT THE GEAR HANDLE DOWN AND STATED HE SAW THE GREEN DOWN LIGHT.  PILOT STATED HOWEVER HE DID NOT CHECK THE MECHANICAL INDICATOR ON THE FLOOR.  PILOT STATED APPROACH WAS SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN NORMAL AND THE AIRCRAFT SEEMED TO FLOAT ON LANDING.  PILOT CONSIDERED GOING AROUND BUT FEARED HE WOULD BE "BEHIND THE POWER CURVE" AND WOULD HAVE POTENTIALLY STALLED THE AIRCRAFT.  JUST THEN THE PROPELLERS CONTACTED THE RUNWAY AND CAME TO A STOP.  PILOT AND PASSENGER EVACUATED WITH NO INJURIES.

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.
