What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Ms. Perkins stated that she put the gear handle in the down position on downwind but did not verify that the gear down light was illuminated nor did she visually check for a wheel by looking out the window. Upon landing, the propeller struck the runway and the aircraft skidded down the runway, on its belly, coming to rest in the grass between the runway and taxiway. All three gear were found to be slightly extended from their up and locked position. The position of the gear handle was down and the gear up warning light illuminated when the master switch was turned on. Aircraft was moved to a maintenance facility; landing gear was cycled with FAA present and was found to be functioning properly. The gear warning horn was also found to be functional.
