## Narrative

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

ON JANUARY 5, 2011, N7404Y, PA-30, LANDED GEAR UP ON RUNWAY 34 AT SEWARD MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, SEWARD, NE.  INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE ONLY MARKS ON THE RUNWAY WERE MADE FROM THE BELLY OF THE PLANE AND ANTENNAS MOUNTED ON THE BELLY.  PIECES OF THE ANTENNAS WERE FOUND ON THE RUNWAY.   THE AIRCRAFT SLID ON ITS BELLY AFTER LANDING.  THE GEAR WAS UP AND THE FLAPS WERE DOWN.THERE WERE NO MARKS ON THE RUNWAY FROM THE LANDING GEAR DOORS, GEAR, NOR TIRES.

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.
