## Narrative

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

(-23)  ON JULY 6, 2009 AT APPROXIMATELY 1540CDT, THE PILOT OF N201FD, A MOONEY M20J, DURING A FLIGHT FROM SAN ANGELO, TEXAS (SJT), EXECUTED A GEAR UP LANDING ON RUNWAY 34 AT MIDLAND AIRPARK (MDD) IN MIDLAND, TEXAS.  THE AIRCRAFT SLID FOR APPROXIMATELY 900 FEET BEFORE EXITING THE LEFT SIDE THE RUNWAY.  THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF A SMALL BRUSH FIRE UNDER THE LEFT WING SPARKED BY CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY LIGHT WHEN THE AIRCRAFT EXITED THE RUNWAY.  DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO THE PROPELLER, THE UNDERSIDE LONGERON, AND RIBS.  WHEN THE AIRCRAFT WAS RAISED, THE GEAR EXTENDED AND LOCKED NORMALLY.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
