## Narrative

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

PILOT CONTACTED DSM APPROACH AND WAS INFORMED TO STAND BY FOR SEQUENCE.  SINCE DSM WAS LANDING RUNWAY 13. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES OF WAITING, PILOT RECIEVED SQUAWK CODE AND HEADINGS TO BE SEQUENCED TO THE AIRPORT.  PILOT WAS ASSIGNED AS #2 FOR LANDING BEHIND A SMALL JET AND AHEAD OF AN F-16. DSM APPROACH TOLD PILOT TO CONTACT TOWER, WHO CLEARED PILOT TO LAND 13. ON FINAL, TOWER TOLD PILOT TO EXIT 13 SHORT ON D4. PILOT ASKED PERMISSON TO LAND LONG AND WAS DENIED.  PILOT WAS VERY BUSY IN THE COCKPIT GETTING THE AIRCRAFT DOWN SHORTER THAN HE HAD PLANNED AND RUSHED HIS LANDING CHECKLIST. THE PILOT FAILED TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR PRIOR TO LANDING, RESULTING IN A GEAR-UP LANDING.

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.
