## Narrative

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

DURING LANDING AT SOMERSET AIRPORT, SOMERSET NJ (SMQ), THE PILOT FAILED TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON IT'S BELLY CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.  THERE WAS ONLY THE PILOT ON BOARD AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES.  THE WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR.  THE FLIGHT WAS BEING CONDUCTED UNDER 14 CFR PART-91.

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.
